This weekend, you can see a play, head out on an egg hunt or take the kids to an old movie. We recommend these events in the Omaha area:

Fairy tale: See a fun fairy tale on stage at The Rose this weekend. “The Reluctant Dragon” tells the story of Glaston, a boy who ends up befriending a dragon. The play will be presented today at 2 and 5 p.m. Tickets are $18.

Movie madness: Revisit the 1988 film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” with the kids this weekend at Film Streams. The theater continues its Forever Young series, showing movies appropriate for children. This movie features human actors interacting with cartoons, including the infamous Roger Rabbit. The film will be shown today and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
