Orchids! | March 14-15

March 1 & 29 | Making Mozzarella

A hidden gem in Regent Square, the Istituto Mondo Italiano was founded in 2003 to welcome and assist the Italian community in Pittsburgh.

March 6-8 | Pittsburgh Tattoo Expo

I don’t have any tattoos, but I’ve always said that if I was like 8 percent cooler, I’d have two full sleeves. Sadly, I’m not, but for the rest of you who are, the fourth annual Bleed Black and Gold Pittsburgh Tattoo Expo will be in town for three days and will feature more than 200 tattoo artists, including stars from “Ink Master” and “Tattoo Nightmares.” You’ll also find live entertainment, contests and the option to get tattooed or pierced on site.

Neil deGrasse Tyson will go down in pop culture history with the likes of Bill Nye as someone who was able to make science accessible — and cool. The astrophysicist, who also hosts the podcast “StarTalk,” will lecture on “The Cosmic Perspective” while he’s at the Carnegie Music Hall of Oakland.

March 20-22 | Bugs Bunny at the Symphony

“What’s up, Doc?” is arguably the most well-known phrase ever uttered by a cartoon character, and that character, Bugs Bunny, may very well also be the only one with his own symphony. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony” concerts; Pittsburgh showings will be held at Heinz Hall, where the most popular “Looney Tunes” episodes will be projected on a big screen as the scores are played live.

March 21 | Pittsburgh Punk Rock Flea Market

This is not your typical flea market; this one is dedicated to all things punk rock. Hosted by locally based Etsy shop Cöbra Cakes, the Pittsburgh Punk Rock Flea Market will be held at The Rock Room and will feature vendors selling their best punk rock wares — think earrings, records, comics and clothes.

Feb. 29-March 22 | Cry It Out

If you’re a new parent, “Cry It Out” by Molly Smith Metzler at the City Theatre will resonate with you — and it may even if you’re not. The play follows three new mothers, each from different backgrounds, as they use their unlikely friendship to get through the struggles of new parenthood.

She’s a single mom who works too hard, who loves her kids and never stops — oh wait, sorry, that’s Reba’s alter ego Reba from her 2000s sitcom “Reba.” This Reba is a three-time Grammy winner and a Country Music Hall of Famer who has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide. The singer known for her signature red hair brings her self-titled tour to PPG Paints Arena.

March 30 | Mo Rocca

A love of obituaries is a strange way to make a living, but that’s exactly what Mo Rocca has done, first with a No. 1 podcast and now with his new book, “Mobituaries.” With his book, the humorist aims to shed light on people that you should know but probably don’t; he’ll appear as part of Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures’ New & Noted series.
