Welcome back to The To-Do List, where Daily Memphian staffers suggest their favorite events and activities for the coming week.

In this week’s To-Do List, Eastern European Jewish music meets punk at the Buckman, and the music of Alanis Morissette is the soundtrack for a show at Playhouse.

The Klezmatics blend traditional Eastern European Jewish music with punk, gospel, jazz, and folk, and they’re the only klezmer band ever to win a Grammy. The band has been around since 1986, and they’re celebrating their 40th anniversary with a new album, “We Were Made for These Times.” Songs on the album connect the band’s activist roots with modern global stores. 7 p.m. $40. 60 Perkins Extd.

International Jewish Film Festival at Memphis Jewish Community Center, opening Thursday:

The 12th Morris and Mollye Fogelman International Jewish Film Festival features film screenings every Thursday through Feb. 19 at MJCC’s Belz Theater. Opening night brings “The Ring,” which is not the 2002 horror film of the same name. No, this is a 2024 Israeli Academy Awards winner about a man who goes on a search for a mythological ring that once saved his Holocaust survivor mom’s life. The film is in Hebrew and Hungarian with English subtitles. 7 p.m. $10. 6560 Poplar Ave. More info here. — Phillips

Spillit takes its storytelling savvy to the screen by hosting a new film festival for documentaries produced or filmed in the Mid-South, or created by Mid-Southerners. Opening night includes a screening of “Shine On: The Story of Tom Lee,” by Mateo Servante, the short film “(I’m Not) Your Negroni” by Antonio Tarrell and a sneak-peek of the Dixon’s 50th anniversary documentary.

Saturday’s film lineup has been postponed to Saturday, Feb. 14. It will include documentaries about adopting former racing dogs, the Edge Motor Museum and the now-closed Little Tea Shop restaurant. Read more about the fest here. Films are free but RSVP is recommended. The Dixon is at 4339 Park Ave., and the Central Library is at 3030 Poplar Ave. More info here. — Holly Whitfield

‘Always a Bridesmaid’ at Theatre Memphis, opening Friday:

Fans of the legendary 1980s sitcom “Golden Girls” will love this lighthearted comedy about four lifelong friends who vow to stand up in each other’s weddings no matter what. “Always a Bridesmaid” was written by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. Read more in our January theater guide. Runs through Feb. 8. 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays-Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. More info here. — Alys Drake

‘The Barber of Seville’ at the Scheidt Family Performing Arts Center, Friday-Saturday:

Due to the winter weather, Saturday’s performance has been canceled, but Friday’s performance will still proceed as scheduled.

Gioachino Rossini’s beloved comic opera revolves around a wealthy count who disguises himself to attract a woman who’s been kept locked up by her guardian. And the count enlists the help of the town’s barber, Figaro, to do it. Even if you don’t know a thing about opera, you’ve no doubt heard the opera’s trademark “Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!” Opera Memphis is keeping an eye on the weather, and guests are encouraged to check the website for updates as to whether the show will go on. 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. $42-$95. 3800 Central Ave. More info here. — Phillips

‘Jagged Little Pill’ at Playhouse on the Square, opening Friday:

The music of Alanis Morissette provides the soundtrack for “Jagged Little Pill.” In 2020, the musical won two of the 15 nominations it earned at the Tony Awards. Based on the 1995 album of the same name, the musical follows the story of a family as they face various issues of gender identity, substance abuse and sexual assault. Read more in our January theater guide. Runs through Feb. 22. 8 p.m. on Thursdays-Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. More info here. — Drake
