This weekend is packing some nasty weather, so it’s a perfect time to duck into a funny flick, live theatre or an artful family day.
Friday, Oct. 14
MOVIE NIGHT
The Port Moody Film Society presents In The Loop, a political satire comedy reminiscent of both Dr. Strangelove and Spinal Tap. Watch as the U.S. general and the British Secretary of State bumble their way into stopping a war between the two nations. The UK film isn’t rated; be prepared for some rather salty language. The film starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Inlet Theatre; visit www.pmfilm.ca.
BARE BEAR
We hear a lot about bears here in the Tri-Cities, but Stage 43 has a different twist on the bruins as empty nesters head to the Bear Bones Campground to reignite the spark in their marriage but end up getting an eyeful at the now “alternative lifestyle” destination. Bare Bear Bones is at the Evergreen Cultural Centre through to Oct. 16 (returning Oct. 19 to 22). Get more info and tickets at www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca.

SNAP AWAY
If you love Mundy Park and snapping great photos, you’ll want to join a photo walk, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., as the city offers a free training session on how to be a Mundy Park volunteer photographer. City staff will showcase selected photos on social media and on its website, and use them for upcoming projects. For more info and to register contact [email protected] or 604-927-6312.
FREE SKATE
Head to the Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex for a Westminster Savings free skate from 12:45 to 3:15 p.m. Skate and helmet rentals are free. Get a wristband up to 30 minutes before the session, which is limited to 200 skaters.
FAMILY DAY
Bring the kids to the Evergreen Cultural Centre for the Westminster Savings Family Day from 1 to 4 p.m. Tour the exhibition Theatre Theatre in the Art Gallery, and bring your imagination to life by creating a miniature theatre of your own. Entry is by donation to the drop-in event. Visit www.evergreenculturalcentre.ca for more information.
TALENT SEARCH
Catch the talent of tomorrow at the PoMo Inlet Theatre as semi-finalists in the Youth Talent Search BC perform on stage in front of industry judges for a chance to win prizes. The competition for teens aged 17 to 19 gives young rising stars a chance to perform on stage in front of an audience, so stop by to cheer them on today at 2:30 p.m. and Sunday at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at www.youthtalentsearchbc.com.
