Get Out: The Good, The Bad and "The Room"

Among this weekend's performances, a so-bad-it's-good cult movie, and a talented batch of local students.

 

Friday Night Shabat Dinner With a Jewish Marine: Confessions of a Jewish Marine

When/where: Services at 5:45 p.m., dinner at 6:15 p.m., at Chabad Center At Chestnut Hill
Why: The Marines may not be the first place you expect to see someone wearing the yarmulke and keeping kosher, but that's how Dave Rosner served his country. He's also a military and political commentator, and a stand-up comic, meaning the night will be insightful, interesting and funny.
Pricing: Adult $30, children under 12 $18

Christmas Musical Extravaganza for the whole family

When/where: 7:30 p.m., Friday night, at the Holiday Inn.
Why: The evening offers a blend classical renditions, funky blues versions, opera and world music styles into a musical celebration of the holiday season. The songs will help tell the story behind the season, through a number of unique lenses. There will also be food and games.
