5 Great Things To Do This Weekend

1. A hilarious mystery! The Majestic Theatre Presents A Murder-Mystery & Madcap Comedy by Murray Schisgal. About the show: The hero is the millionaire co-owner of a textile plant who seems to have all that one could wish for—but who finds himself thoroughly miserable. As things have gone from bad to worse his wife (whom he loves) has left him; he is overweight but can’t stop eating; his partner has just about given up on him; and, to cap it all, someone is apparently trying to kill him. In an attempt to set matters straight his brilliant law student daughter enlists the aid of her professor (and lover of five years), whereupon the action becomes even more pell-mell, and even funnier—leading on to a quite unexpected yet characteristically zany resolution.

2. STAYIN' ALIVE! The Palace Theatre in Manchester will present Stayin' Alive, One Night of the Bee Gees Friday night. With the vocal match of Tony Mattina, Todd Sharman and George Manz creates a realistic sense of hearing and experiencing the brothers' Gibb live in concert. STAYIN' ALIVE offers to their audiences the songs and sights of a full Bee Gees play list, singing blockbusters such as "Night Fever", "Jive Talkin", "How Deep is Your Love", "You Should be Dancing", and "Stayin' Alive". STAYIN' ALIVE is the quintessential tribute band to the Bee Gees, capturing the excitement of live performance and the tender subtleties of the human voice!

3.  Prom night...again! Ladies ... looking for a wacky, fun-filled Girls Night Out in support of a great cause? Then pull out those old prom dresses, or find the tackiest dress on eBay and go out for a night of dancing, eating, refreshments, good company and humorous prom traditions. The Mom Prom will be at the Nashua Radisson Hotel from 7-11 p.m. Ladies only, but you don't need to be a mom to join us. Registration is $50 and all proceeds to benefit the St. Joseph Hospital Breast Care Center in Nashua. 

4. Get dolled up! The Nellie W. Perkins Doll and Miniature Society invites Amherst children ages 6-12, to attend their Second Annual Tea Party on Saturday at noon. This year the featured doll is Fancy Nancy. Children are invited to dress up in their interpretation of "FANCY" and bring their favorite doll, along with a parent or guardian who shall remain at the tea with his/her child.

5. Fight! Combat Zone MMA will be Friday night at Rockingham Park in Salem. Brent Kinberger (6-3-0) of Manchester, NH takes on Boston invader Aniss Alhajjay (4-1-0) at 155 pounds in the main event of a competitive and tough night of cage fighting with 16 professional and amateur matches. Salem's own Aaron Schultz (2-1-0) gets the chance to fight in the welterweight division in front of his hometown crowd in the co-main event against the undefeated Blaine Thomas (5-0-0) from Charlotte, NC. Other top pros on the card include Ray Shawdee (2-1-0) and Buster Crandall  (2-3-0).
