Brad Paisley’s rescheduled tour returns to Mohegan Sun Arena this week in Connecticut things to do and see

From music to modern art to fiddling on the roof and stomping around with push brooms, unusual paths are being taken this week in the Connecticut arts scene.

Cacophony and eggs

Sky Casper Entertainment is serving up another of its singular “Pink Eggs and Glam” drag brunches, starring Cacophony Daniels on May 22 at 11 a.m. at The Social Bar + Kitchen, 208 Bank Street, New London. skycasper.com.

Sunday serenades

Members of Hartford Symphony Orchestra play music by Igor Stravinsky, Bohuslav Martin, Marc Mellits and Carlos Simon as a soundtrack for the vibrant paintings of Milton Avery for the latest “Sunday Serenades” concert on May 22 at 2 p.m. at the Wadsworth Atheneum, 600 Main St., Hartford. Enter through the Avery Lobby. Erin Monroe, who co-curated the Avery exhibition for the Wadsworth, gives a talk before the concert. $30, $25 for HSO subscribers and Wadsworth members. hartfordsymphony.org.

‘Straight White Men’

Young Jean Lee writes strikingly modern, uncompromising dramas that dissect difficult social realities. Her 2014 play, “Straight White Men,” is at Westport Playhouse, 25 Powers Court, Westport from May 24 to June 5, directed by Mark Lamos. westportplayhouse.org.

Nothings special

Cloud Nothings, the hard-charging indie pop band from Cleveland, Ohio, is now 13 years and nine albums old (plus a live album and a bunch of EPs). Known for some cool animated videos, they’re just as watchable live. Cloud Nothings play May 25 at 8 p.m. at the Space Ballroom, 295 Treadwell St., Hamden, with Sunburned Hand of the Man and Mountain Movers. $17-$20. spaceballroom.com.

Allies and adversaries

The Agitators is a two-person play by Mat Smart about the decades-long friendship between two radical voices of the 19th century: Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony. They were both activists for the abolition of slavery and shared other fights as well. May 25-June 12 at Playhouse on Park, 244 Park Road, West Hartford. playhouseonpark.org.

Karla Bonoff live

The superb singer/songwriter Karla Bonoff released her first album in 1977. Her songs have been recorded by the likes of Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt and Wynonna Judd, but the best versions are probably her own. See Bonoff perform May 26 at 8 p.m. at Infinity Hall, 20 Greenwoods Road West, Norfolk. $35-$50. infinityhall.com.

New world rising

Hartford Symphony Orchestra’s “From the New World” concert, a diverse night of Burleigh’s Traditional Spirituals, Florence Price’s Concerto in One Movement for Piano and three works by Dvorák (”From the New World” and two sections of “Slavonic Dances”) was planned for January then postponed due to COVID. It’s finally happening May 26 at 7:30 p.m. for a single performance at the Bushnell’s Mortensen Hall instead of the usual three performances in the smaller Belding Theater. $35-$68. hartfordsymphony.org.

Brad Paisley is back

Country star Brad Paisley intended to play Mohegan Sun Arena in November. He makes good on the postponed May 27 at 7:30 p.m. Jackson Dean opens. $49-$69. mohegansun.com.

Stomping ground

“Stomp,” that modernist mishmash of percussive movement and janitorial services, stomps again at The Bushnell May 27-29. Performances are Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 1 and 6:30 p.m. $35-$115. bushnell.org.

Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 2 and 8 p.m., Sunday at 1 and 6 p.m. $45-$75. foxwoods.com.
