1. Jump around

The Sky Zone Vancouver Summer Kickoff doesn’t just want you to get off your behind and jump around; it demands that you do so from 5 to 8 p.m. June 3 at its Vancouver location, 5000 E. Fourth Plain Blvd.; $10. Enjoy an evening filled with discounted jump times, trampoline fun, special guest appearances and a raffle. Barley, from the Hillsboro Hops, will jump with guests all evening. Sky Zone is an indoor trampoline park where you can combine old-fashioned fun with fitness. 360-989-3300 or www.skyzone.com/vancouver

2. Native art

Combine history, art and culture at the same time from 5 to 8 p.m. June 1 at The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation’s First Friday Artwalk, which takes place at The Native Arts & Cultures Foundation, 400 E. Evergreen Blvd., No. 101B, Vancouver; free. The artwalk features feather lei and jewelry maker Joy Pomaika’i Hau’Oli O’Hearn. O’Hearn will exhibit her work, and she might do a demonstration. O’Hearn will be available to answer any questions you might have about the meaning behind the Hawaiian artform of Lei Hulu. 360-334-7260 or www.nativeartsandcultures.org

3. The Dirty Dozen

Movies don’t get much more classic than “Twelve Angry Men,” which follows a dozen deadlocked jurors deciding a verdict on a sweltering summer day. Now it’s time to peep a local take on the 1954 teleplay, which decades later became a Broadway hit and won a 2005 Tony Award. At 7 p.m. June 1 and 2 and 2 p.m. June 2, Skyview High School students will showcase their adaptation called “12 Angry Jurors.” The play is produced completely by Skyview students, but will take place at Hudson’s Bay High School, 1601 E. McLoughlin Blvd., Vancouver; $10. 360-313-4719

4. Goodbye for now

The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra concludes its season with a concert featuring the three gold medalists (violinist Evan Llafet, violist Shania Watts and pianist Christopher Yoon) from the 24th Annual Young Artists Competition. After intermission, Maestro Salvador Brotons and the VSO will perform Gustav Holst’s “The Planets” with the Vancouver USA Singers. The audience can watch award-winning, real-time high-definition NASA animations and stills on big screens during the performances at 3 p.m. June 2 and 7 p.m. June 3 at Skyview High School Concert Hall, 1300 N.W. 139th St., Vancouver; $10 to $50. www.vancouversymphony.org

5. Dance to the music (man)

Vancouver USA Singers will perform Meredith Wilson’s “The Music Man,” a musical about a traveling salesman named Harold Hill, who stops in River City, Iowa. Hill sells instruments, books, and uniforms for a boys band, and guarantees to teach the kids to play, even though he “can’t tell a bass drum from a pipe organ.” Before he can skip town, he gets stuck in River City when he falls in love with Marian. The choir will also present its annual $1,000 scholarship to Olivia Alfson, a senior at Evergreen High School. Performances run 7 p.m. June 2 and 3 p.m. June 3 at First Presbyterian Church, 4300 Main St., Vancouver; $20 to $25. 360-694-3363 or www.vancouverusasingers.org
