Why go: Ferndale High School's Student Enterprise Theatre presents Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, a murder-mystery show with a who-done-it plot that is fun for the whole family. By tradition, at the end of each performance, audiences are asked not to reveal the identity of the killer to anyone outside the theatre, to ensure that the end of the play is not spoiled for future audiences. The murderer's identity will be revealed near the end of the play, in a twist ending.

When: 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday
Where:
Cost: $15
Why go: The All Star Showdown is an improvised game show where the audience can be involved as little or as much as they want to be. Improv games and challenges will make up the bulk of the "game show."

When: 6:30 p.m. Saturday
Where:
Cost: $10
Why go: The Movement, narrated by Robert Redford and Warren Miller, tells the story of five individuals from all walks of life who faced incredible obstacles, found the inspiration to overcome them and became real everyday heroes. Through skiing, each has ultimately discovered or rediscovered the freedom of movement.
What else: Buy tickets here.
