Theater kids, ASSEMBLE!
If your favorite Broadway musical and a tasty dinner had a baby, it might be this Broadway supper club performance. This show gives a nod to the classic NYC venues where dinner and entertainment come together (think 54 Below, just in Somerville). Four seasoned performers with Broadway and National Touring credits will sing your favorite show tunes while you indulge in a delicious meal prepared in-house at Premiere on Broadway. (Thursday, Feb. 20 from 8 to 10 p.m.; 517 Broadway, Somerville; $35)
Enjoy a pasta-making class under $100
In this economy!? Learn to make carbonara from soups to nuts (and enjoy the fruits of your labor) in this pasta-making class. While your pasta dough rests, your instructor will demo how to build a classic carbonara sauce from scratch. They’ll provide the ingredients and equipment. You’ll provide an empty stomach. (Thursday, Feb. 20 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.; 916 Commonwealth Ave., Boston; $59)
Paint and sip your problems away
Valentine’s Day may be over, but you can still keep the cupid vibes going at this cupid’s canvas paint and sip event. Your instructor will guide you through creating a love-inspired masterpiece, but feel free to let your creativity take the lead. Also on tap: a live DJ and complimentary sweet treats and refreshments. (Friday, Feb. 21 from 7 to 10 p.m.; 1350 Tremont St., Boston; $25)
Apres ski at Mt. Felipe
We’re trading mountain tops for roof tops at this apres ski-themed party at Felipe’s rooftop. While we can’t guarantee good weather, there will be solid tunes, strong drinks, and hopefully some fun people. Dress code? Anything that keeps you warm. Shout out to Harvard Business School’s Canadian club for hosting! (Friday, Feb. 21 from 3 to 7 p.m.; 21 Brattle St. Cambridge; $35)
Swing your partner ‘round and ‘round
Get ready to kick up your cowboy boots and chow down on some BBQ at Sweet Cheeks Q’s boot scootin’ line-dancing bash just steps away from Fenway Park. Your ticket includes a BBQ buffet and line dancing lessons. Fun fact: The bar is open till 1 a.m.! (Friday, Feb. 21 at 9:30 p.m.; 1381 Boylston St., Boston; $15)
Practice your best “smize” for Tyra
Or really, for Jamie. If you grew up on “America’s Next Top Model,” you’re going to love “Jamie’s Next Top Model” drag show at Jacque’s Cabaret. See who will smize their way to the top through performances, runways, and Cover Cirl commercials (IYKYK). (Friday. Feb. 21 from 8 to 10 p.m.; 79 Broadway St., Boston; $15)
Stretch out in a Boston market
The venue for your Saturday morning workout just got cooler. Option 1: Join the Soulful Sister Collective in a special pop-up Pilates class at Time Out Market. Option 2: Head to Quincy Market for a yoga sculpt class in the heart of the city, then refuel with a juice from Wagamama. (Saturday, Feb. 22; multiple times and locations; prices vary)
Get ahead on your spring cleaning
Now is the time to chip away at your overflowing closet and bookshelf. Bring up to 10 gently used clothes and books to the Thomas Crane Public Library, and swap them out for other thrifted finds. And if you just want to donate? Drop off your items on Friday or Saturday. Anything leftover will be donated to local organizations. (Saturday, Feb. 22 from 2 to 4 p.m.; 40 Washington St., Quincy; free)
Visit one of Boston’s museums for free
Add this to your school vacation week agenda: The Red Sox Foundation is celebrating Black History Month by partnering with the Museum of African American History to provide free admission and tours for all visitors from February 21-23. The free admission is good for all museum visitors, including self-guided tours and educational group tours. (Friday, Feb. 21 through Sunday, Feb. 23; 46 Joy St., Boston; free)
Get handsy with your boo
Tired: A couple’s massage. Wired: This partner yoga and Thai massage class. Instructors will guide you through a mixture of partner yoga poses and Thai body work to help you unwind from head to toe. And it’s actually a decent deal. (Sunday, Feb. 23 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.; 505 Tremont St., Boston; $60 per couple)
Be civil. Be kind.
