Online tickets are $12 for The Tough Tenors, $19 for Saturday and Sunday night shows.
And if a throw-back show is more your speed, check out Thoroughly Modern Millie this weekend at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket. The rollicking 1920s musical hits the stage on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday for a 2 p.m. matinee.
Online tickets are $19.
Starting Thursday night, the Rustic Tri-Vue Drive-In is showing:
- Smurfs 2 [PG] and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters [PG]
- We're the Millers [R] leading into The Conjuring [R],
- and Grown Ups 2 [PG-13] followed by Elysium [R].
And while you're there, be sure to pick up the new Rustic Drive-In tee-shirt available at the concession stand. $18, made by Hemlock Ink Custom Screenprinting.
There's also a great craft event at Smith-Appleby House on Saturday at 1 p.m., where kids can make their own corn husk doll. While you're there, take a tour of the historic house. Tours are $5 for adults, free for kids.
