There’s some sort of magic to writing a good jingle. A dab of mind-glue is added that makes it impossible to shake. In celebration of these fun little numbers, the Aurora Singers present “The Best of Media Music” this weekend.

Today-Saturday
Was the Big, Bad Wolf really so big and bad? That’s the question kids have to ponder during “What Really Happened Once Upon a Time,” the new Kids Kabaret show at Boulder’s Dinner Theatre. The wolf certainly got the villain treatment in “Little Red Riding Hood” and “The Three Little Pigs” — but maybe he didn’t deserve it. The play lets audiences become the “wolves of justice,” check the facts and decide for themselves. 10 a.m. today and 11 a.m. Saturday. Boulder’s Dinner Theatre, 5501 Arapahoe Ave.; 303-449-6000.

This week’s program, which will repeat on March 23, features works by sculptor David Altmejd. 10-11:30 a.m. Sunday.
