He flirts with one of the daughters who’s already engaged to his friend Valdimir. This show has been met with wide acclaim and won many awards. It’s a touring show from Vancouver’s Arts Club.

His Dudeness          Friday

Roxy Theatre

Arguably one of the most quotable movies of the 90s is back up on the big screen this weekend. The Big Lebowski starring Jeff Bridges is the story of The Dude, played by bridges, a Los Angeles slacker who is mistaken for a millionaire with the same name. My personal favourite is “This aggression will not stand man!” The movie got tepid reviews when it was first released but it’s gone on to become a cult classic. The Roxy Theatre is celebrating the movie’s anniversary in style with White Russians to drink and a costume contest where the winner goes home with a new rug. This is a fun night out with the buddies. Tickets are $12 – $15.

The Broadway Theatre is hosting a special sing-a-long screening. The audience is encouraged to dress up and get those vocal chords ready to sing at the top of your lungs. Guest conductor BJ Harris will be there to help you get warmed up and lead you through the movie’s hits. Bark like a dog at Rolf, snuggle with Gretel and wave your Edelweiss proudly.
