It was a tough week, but now it’s time to sit back, relax and enjoy all of the entertainment that this weekend has to offer.
Flicks and film
Wisconsin Union Directorate Film is hosting a variety of movies this weekend including a new movie which premiered this summer, “Straight Outta Compton.” They will also be playing “Santa Teresa and Other Stories,” “Phoenix,” “Time Bandits,” “These Daughters of Mine” and “The Photographer.” These films are a fun and free way to take a load off after a long week.
Off to the Gala
The WUD Arts Gala, that is. This is an event put on by WUD Art, Illumination Journal and Wheelhouse Studios aiming to create a night of art appreciation. It takes place Thursday in Union South, Gallery 1308, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Let’s get artsy
Check out Wheelhouse Studios’ weekly craft for Free Art Friday at Memorial Union.
Free concerts
WUD Music will be hosting the Behind the Beat Jazz Series at Der Rathskeller. Another free concert will take place before the Badger Bash Saturday when The Northern Hooks will play at Union South at 12:30 p.m.
If you feel like paying
Treat yourself to one of the finer things in life, like a concert. Here are some of your choices: Glen Hansard is playing at The Orpheum Thursday, Joe Rogan is at the Orpheum Friday, Elle King is at the Majestic Friday, Jamey Johnson is at the Orpheum Saturday and Moon Taxi is at the Majestic Saturday. Chad Daniels will also perform a stand-up act at the Comedy Club on State Street multiple times throughout weekend.
