What to do this week: January 8 – 14

We’ve had our first big storm of 2018 but that is no reason to hibernate. Check out one of the more than 30+ events / parties that I’ve shared below, that will take place over the next seven days.

During the work week Dorchester Brewery is hosting a Pizza & Game Night on Monday and Trivia Tuesday; The Alley is bringing back it’s Cards Against Humanity nights on Monday and the seductive gay flick The Ornithologist returns to The Brattle theater for two shows on Wednesday.

Over the MLK weekend SpeakEasy Stage opens with their latest production, Shakespeare In Love and The Lyric Stage Co. open with Road Show. If you’d rather put on your dancing shoes check out FOXY , which returns with a James Bond themed party at the Oberon called Octobussy on Friday; One More Time: A Tribute to Daft Punk is on Friday night at Royale; and DREAM with Nina Flowers is hosted by Chris Harris Presents on Sunday.
