It's going to feel like fall this weekend, so if you're looking for some entertainment options to coax you out of the house, the Homestretch's Tracy Fuller has made up a handy list. 1. The Container The new play at the University of Calgary's School of Creative and Performing Arts. It debuted back in 2007 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and it's relevant to what's going on in the world today. The whole drama takes place inside a shipping container with five refugees stuck inside. They have just one goal — to get to England and start a new life. But none of them know if they trust the man they paid to get them there ... or if they trust each other ... or how far each will go to get what they want. 2. Music Collector's Show Happening Sunday at the Acadia Recreation Complex, it's billed as Southern Alberta's "premier event for buying, selling and trading rare, vintage, collectable vinyl and music-memorabilia." Organizer Mark Corner says lots of the vendors don't mind appraising your collectables — if you're looking for an expert opinion on your own records. 3. The Floating Mouse puppet show For some family-friendly fun, the Green Fools are wrapping-up their show 'The Floating Mouse' this weekend. It's a puppet show based on the 2013 flood in Calgary — which actually claimed the Green Fool's theatre and lots of their costumes, puppets, sets and more. Writer and director Jennie Esdale assures us the show is NOT a downer. It runs 50 minutes and is best for kids 4 and up. 4. Spooky Halloween fun Telus Spark is hosting a Monster Mash-Up all weekend, inviting monsters of all ages to dress up and get down to the science centre. There'll be creepy crawlers, glow in the dark slime, pumpkin guts, face painting and more. The best part — you can learn the Thriller dance from Michael Jackson's iconic music video. If that's not your scene, check out the Crowfoot YMCA's 'Halloween Howler' Saturday from 4-5:30 p.m. for families with kids aged 2 to 12. 5. Halloween Howl If this weekend doesn't work out for you, Juno-winning singer-songwriter Norman Foote will be at The Banff Centre Tuesday for Halloween Howl. Foote will be joined on stage by the Very Scary Big Voice Orchestra and a costumed appearance by local school choirs from Banff and Canmore. That's 7pm on Tuesday night. Tickets $5.
