Looking for something to do this weekend? There are many events on the calendar on Friday and Saturday.

“Vania, Sonia, Masha & Spike” — 7:30 p.m.

Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike. Old resentments eventually flare up. Also on the scene are sassy maid Cassandra, who can predict the future, and a lovely young aspiring actress named Nina, whose prettiness somewhat worries the imperious Masha.
