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, catch up on the first “Heat” before the sequel drops, watch an Irish sports throwdown and catch the season’s first free show at Overton Park Shell. 

David Porter book signing at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, Thursday:

As the first staff songwriter at Stax Records, David Porter penned some of the classics. Among them “Soul Man” and “Hold On, I’m Comin’.” And this Thursday, he’ll be putting pen to paper in a signing for his new book, “The Soul Man: Life of Songwriter David Porter.” He’ll also talk about the making of his book and share the stories behind 10 photos on display at Stax. Read more about Porter’s book here. 6 p.m. Free. 926 E. McLemore Ave. More info here. — Bianca Phillips

Click to Add Title: An Improvised PowerPoint Show at Lamplighter Lounge, Thursday:

In Click to Add Title, each comedian is given a PowerPoint presentation they’ve never seen before and has to present it right then, via the power of improv. In this event are Catherine Sundt, Richard Douglas Jones, JT Daiya and Angela Garrone. Benny Elbows hosts. 7-9 p.m. (7:30 p.m. show). $10 (tickets here). 1702 Madison Ave. — Elle Perry

‘Heat’ at Pink Palace Museum, Friday:

Director Michael Mann’s nearly three-hour, 1995 crime-crew, cops-and-robbers epic has accrued a classic status, much loved and much emulated from comic-book blockbusters (“The Dark Knight”) to a horde of “B”-movie crime flicks. This makes it a kind of must-see movie from a cultural literacy standpoint that’s also a really satisfying one, with Al Pacino’s cop in pursuit of a bank-robbing team led by Robert DeNiro, and with the Los Angeles locations another main character of sorts. With the long-rumored prequel/sequel “Heat 2” now in pre-production, this is a good time to catch up or get reacquainted as part of the Slowdown Cinema Club series. 6:30 p.m. $18.75 (or $5 off with a Mid-South Food Bank donation). See here for more info. — Chris Herrington

Memphis Greek Festival at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, Friday-Saturday:

Opa! Get your fill of spanakopita, baklava and a bunch of other foods that end with vowels at this 67th annual fest. The food is the big highlight, and every year, the volunteers prepare more than 7,000 kebabs, 5,400 servings of baklava and 5,000 gyros, among other staggering numbers. But there’s also live Greek music, Athenian dancing, shopping (get the olive oil), church tours and a kid’s zone. If you don’t have time for that though, there’s a drive-thru. 11 a.m.-8 p.m. $5 for for adults and children ages 6 and older, free to kids 5 and under. 573 N. Highland Ave. More info here. — Phillips

Keep Marching: A ‘Suffs’ Screening at the Orpheum Theatre, Friday:

It’s probably fitting that WKNO is screening “Suffs” this week. Election Day was Tuesday, and this Tony Award-winning musical chronicles the fight for women’s right to vote. It focuses on the final and more radical years of the American women’s suffrage movement, which saw conflicting efforts from suffragists Alice Paul, Carrie Chapman Catt and Ida B. Wells. The live show is coming to the Orpheum this summer, but here’s your chance for a sneak peek on the screen. There’s a pre-show discussion at 7:30 p.m. with Carolyn Michael-Banks from A Tour of Possibilities, Paula Casey (committee chair for the National Votes for Women Trail and previous chair of the Memphis Suffrage Monument committee) and moderator Sally Stover of WKNO. 8 p.m. Free. 203 S. Main St. More info here. — Phillips

The Sultana Disaster Museum in Marion, Arkansas, tells the story of the 1865 riverboat explosion that killed an estimated 1,800 people — most of whom were Union soldiers — on the Mississippi River. And the museum will soon move to a bigger space in a former school gym.

What’s better than enjoying nice weather and community while sitting on a blanket in the park? A free concert, of course. The Overton Park Shell’s free summer concert series begins Saturday with an Allman Brothers tribute band. This year’s lineup is packed with great shows from the Sunset Symphony and Brezay to FreeWorld. My favorite is always the Stax Music Academy. See the lineup here. Blankets and lawn chairs are welcome; even your dog is allowed in the designated pup area. You can bring a picnic or grab something from the food stall or the food trucks. On Saturday, there will be Pok-Cha’s Eggrolls and Odds Smash & Grab Burger Lab. 7:30-9 p.m. Free. 1928 Poplar Ave. Click here for more information. — Kelsey Bowen

Marilyn Manson at Graceland Soundstage, Wednesday:

Never change, Marilyn Manson. If you want to feel like you just traveled in a time capsule back to 1996 (and who doesn’t?), head to Manson’s show at Graceland. He looks the same, and his new music sounds just like his old stuff. The shock rocker is on his “One Assassination Under God” tour for his newish album of the same characteristically shocking name. The only thing that’s changed? He probably isn’t making parents mad anymore, now that his fans are old enough to be parents themselves. 7:30 p.m. $75-$91. 3717 Elvis Presley Blvd. More info here. — Phillips
