Based off of the era-defining rock opera by Green Day about suburban ennui and finding one’s way in the wake of 9/11, American Idiot the musical continues its run at Centennial Theatre this weekend, with showings tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at 8 p.m, as well as a Saturday matinee scheduled for 2 p.m. This time around, the show is contemporized for 2019 audiences by centering on a new but equally myopic U.S. president. Tickets: $25-$45
The peaks may look pretty, but there might be hazards if you don’t know where to look.

Tickets: $10
It’s never too early to start paying homage. Stop by Parkgate library tonight for a 6:30 p.m. showing of director Peter Jackson’s documentary They Shall Not Grow Old, which looks at the British troops of the First World with never-before-seen footage of soldiers as they faced the fear and uncertainty of battle in Belgium. No registration required.
