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, a new Pink Palace exhibit explores the science and culture of food. And Urban Earth hosts a workshop on air plants.

‘Food: Science, Culture and Cuisine’ at the Pink Palace Museum, through May 24: 

This new exhibition explores food through all the senses: sight, smell, taste, touch and sound. And you’ll learn lots of cool stuff, like how ancient cooking methods evolved into modern culinary innovation. Open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. $21 for general museum admission or free for members. 3050 Central Ave. More info here. — Bianca Phillips

American Cornhole League: Memphis Signature Open at Renasant Convention Center, Friday-Sunday:

Turns out cornhole isn’t just for bros at breweries. The American Cornhole League travels around and holds these Signature Opens where anyone — no matter your skill level — can take their shot at tossing a bean bag into a hole. After the amateurs play, there’s a pro tournament you watch. So, you know, the next time someone makes fun of you for lingering too long at the cornhole board, remind them that people get paid to do this. See the full weekend schedule here. 255 N. Main St. — Phillips

Flyway Comedy Club featuring Mo Alexander at Flyway Brewing, Friday:

If you’ve been stuck at home all week, you probably need a good laugh. And comedian Mo Alexander, whom you might have seen on Comedy Central, will be at Flyway’s monthly comedy series to bring you just that. He’ll headline the show, which also promises stand-up from a slate of local comedians. Flyway has confirmed the show is on, despite the icy streets. Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. $10 online or $15 at the door. 598 Monroe Ave. More info here. — Phillips

Mounted Air Plant Workshop at Urban Earth, Saturday: 

There’s one kind of plant I’ve managed not to kill yet: the air plant. You can leave these babies alone for weeks (months?) without watering, and that’s my kind of plant. In this workshop, you’ll hear about air plant care, choose an air plant to take home and learn how to mount it for display. This workshop is family-friendly, but kids must be accompanied by an adult. 11 a.m. $54.70. 80 Flicker St. More info here. — Phillips

The Dixon planned to celebrate its 50th last week, but those plans were postponed due to winter weather. The rescheduled party this Sunday (weather permitting again) includes cake, lemonade, tea and hot chocolate, along with special anniversary tours and art activities. There will also be a screening of “50 Years of the Dixon Gallery and Gardens,” a documentary by local filmmaker Matteo Servente. 1-5 p.m. 4339 Park Ave. More info here. — Phillips

The Tony Award-winning “Dreamgirls” is coming to Hattiloo Theatre. The 1982 musical follows a 1960s Black girl group whose rapid rise to fame exposes the costs of ambition, racism and betrayal in the American music industry. Loosely inspired by Motown groups like The Supremes, “Dreamgirls” explores how Black artists’ work was often reshaped or exploited as it crossed over into the pop market. Opening date was moved to Wednesday due to the icy roads. Runs through March 8. 37 Cooper St. Tickets and more information here. — Drake
