June is now in full swing so there will be no shortage of events to attend this weekend. Here are some of our top choices — including many indoor options, in case you are trying to avoid venturing out in the haze.

To top off the fun, there will be a Shakespeare-themed drag/costume contest, where winners will receive tickets to the company’s upcoming run of “Macbeth.”

Sunday, June 11

Kevin Hart’s ‘Reality Check’ Tour

Star comedian Kevin Hart will be in town for two live shows this Sunday. Visitors can expect to get some hearty laughs, enjoy quality drinks and probably lose a good amount of money before and/or after the shows, which take place at Live! Casino and Hotel in Hanover.

Location: Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland (7002 Arundel Mills Circle)

‘Frozen’

The musical version of Disney’s popular 2013 animated film will make its Maryland stop at the Hippodrome Theatre on its nationwide tour. The live show will feature songs from the original film as well as new tracks from an expanded score. As someone who has seen the original with my younger family members, I’m sure attendees will be leaving the event with at least one or two songs stuck in their heads.
