• If you're looking for something different, you might want to check out "The Aluminum Show" at the Providence Performing Arts Center. The show is a mix of movement, dance, acrobatics, and inanimate objects. Tickets start at $36, with 5 performances scheduled this weekend from Friday through Sunday.

• Movies are fun, but why not try something different? The Rustic Tri Vue Drive-In in North Smithfield has several movies playing this weekend.
