Here we are at the end of another week, looking forward to what the weekend has to offer. And the bay area does not disappoint! Today is the beginning of Wes Ander-Thon at the Roxie Theatre. It's a collaboration between Midnites for Maniacs, the Roxie Theatre, and Spoke Art, and will have a limited print available for purchase. Earlier this week, the premier of Showgirls: The Musical started playing at the Victoria Theatre and will continue until the 27th. So if you can't make it out this weekend, you still have time.
