Picks of the week - December 14, 2012

 

 
 
 
 
One of our favourite events of the year, Guided by Robots features members of local band SK Robot covering the tunes of prolific indie rock legends Guided by Voices and at some point turning the microphone over to drunken revellers trying to do their best Robert Pollard imitation. Expect to hear “A Salty Salute,” “Game of Pricks” and “Teenage FBI” half a dozen times. Get your hot freaks on Dec. 15, 8 p.m. at the ANZA club, with proceeds going towards Small Talk Centre for Language Development for children with primary language impairments.

Farce and satire mix and mingle with holiday cheer in Ruby Slippers Theatre’s Hotel Bethlehem, which provides an alternate interpretation of what really happened on that infamous silent night. The manger mayhem runs Dec. 18 to 23 at the Firehall Arts Centre. For tickets and info, call 604-689-0926 or go to firehallartscentre.ca.
Vancity Theatre invites you to ease on down the road for a screening of The Wiz, Dec. 17, 8:50 p.m. as part of its $6 Music Mondays series.

It’s a sight to see. For more info call 604-683-FILM (3456) or go to viff.org.
