Director Terrence Malick’s 1973 debut, the lovers-on-the-lam reverie “Badlands,” was a sensation that endures. This 1978 follow-up, a noir-ish love triangle/scheme set on the WWI-era Texas Panhandle, was something of a troubled production, but it endures, too. It won the Oscar for Best Cinematography, and Malick took Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. Richard Gere, Brooke Adams and Sam Shepard star. 7 p.m. $5. 1350 Concourse Ave. See here for more info. — Chris Herrington

‘Hamlet’ at Tennessee Shakespeare Company, opening Thursday:

“There is, at the heart of (“Hamlet”), a very human question,” said Dan McCleary, founder and artistic director of Tennessee Shakespeare Company.

You can read more about it in our April theater roundup. 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 3 p.m. on Sundays.

Elizabeth King was a major Memphis gospel star in the 1970s who’s enjoyed a recent, perhaps unlikely rebirth as a septuagenarian sensation, bringing what people now call “sacred soul” sound to a new generation of listeners via two major “comeback” albums for the label Bible & Tire. This second act is not slowing down. This concert will serve as a release party for King’s third rebirth album, “Soul Provider.” The Jubilee Hummingbirds open. 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280. See here for more info. — Herrington
