Given today’s date, the temptation was soooo strong to make an April Fools’ Day version of What a Weekend. I mean, you’d believe that Charlie Sheen was adding The Lyric Theatre to his “Violent Torpedo of Truth” tour, wouldn’t you? But not to worry, the events listed here are all on the up and up.

POKER RUN FOR FALLEN MARINE

The Lance Cpl. Justin J. Wilson Memorial Foundation, named for the U.S. Marine from Palm City killed March 22, 2010, in Afghanistan, will sponsor a poker run and family day April 2.

Three poker runs will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Sebastian, Port St. Lucie and Riveiera Beach, visit several American Legion and VFW posts and Marine detachments, and end at Treasure Coast Harley-Davidson, 4967 S. U.S. 1 in Stuart, for an event with live music, food, bounce houses, games, auctions and food and beer vendors.

Cost is $10 for the first poker hand, $5 for additional hands. The foundation helps military families with financial difficulties spend time with their loved ones before they deploy. For information, go to justinswings.org.

PERFORMANCE BY A PRODIGY

At 18, Caroline Goulding is a violin prodigy. She will perform Bruch’s Violin Concerto on the General Kyd Stradivarius for the final concert in the Atlantic Classical Orchestra Series IV at The Lyric Theatre. The concert will begin with the overture to “The Barber of Seville” and conclude with Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony.

Goulding will give two performances at 4 and 8 p.m. April 1 at The Lyric Theatre, 59 S.W. Flagler Ave. in Stuart. Tickets are $40 for the 4 p.m. show and $45 for the 8 p.m. show and are available by calling 772-286-7827 or going to lyrictheatre.com.
