Get Out: Things To Do This Weekend
Comedy, drama, nature and shopping are on the horizon.
Let's be honest, getting there is rarely "half the fun." With our list of great neighborhood events, you won't have to test that theory by actually travelling. Instead, we're fairly certain you'll enjoy yourself at these local events more than you would on another long subway ride.
What? Though BAM isn't billing it as a double feature, we suggest you buy two tickets and see two iconic Brian De Palma thrillers back to back. First is "Carrie," with the Oscar award-winning Sissy Spacek as a tortured inhibited teenager, followed immediately by "Body Double," featuring the Razzie award-nominated Melanie Griffith as a tortured, uninhibited young porn star.
