The Zolas are in town with a brand-spanking new album, Swooner (released March 4), that may be a the summer hit for those who prefer some versatility in their playlist: it’s toned down experimental pop, but tempered with a witty nod to 90s dance and alt-rock — think Foo Fighters and Veruca Salt.

The hilarity of the performance will be assessed by the audience and a completely impartial panel of judges, though the notes tell me the panel are open to bribes. Of course, I was *never* offered anything (worthy) when I was a judge, 7:30 p.m., NAC Fourth Stage. Tickets: $20, with proceeds to the Actors’ Fund of Canada. nac-cna.ca

The label for Zaphod’s beer.
As part of their 25th year anniversary year of celebration, Zaphod Beeblebrox is launching its very own beer made with Beau’s Brewery, Life, The Universe and Everything (name taken from their inspirational series by Douglas Adams and, we’re sure, the way some feel about beer). The brew is being launched in a special event with Juno Award winning pop-punk band The Flatliners, Audio Visceral and HELLbros and, we are told, there are only a scant couple dozen tickets left.

Aren’t teenagers spooky enough without a dark tale and a chorus?
Let’s call this Theatre (and threat) Tuesday — though the alliteration is a bit hidden.
The Toronto suburbs go gothic in Concord Floral, a play by award-winner Jordan Tannahill about a never-mentioned event at an abandoned hangout that brings with it dark consequences after it is discovered by two teen girls. It is a play loosely based on the medieval The Decameron (as context: this was written about a group of young people gathered to escape the Black Death), but with all the modern narcissism and spooky denial of modern youth in our selfie culture — with some added magic realism. The play opens Thursday, but there are previews tonight and tomorrow, which means cheaper prices can be had. Tickets: $33-$46. nac-cna.ca
Calendar Girls opens at the OLT on Tuesday.
We have not been told exactly how naked the women will get in the OLT stage production of Calendar Girls, that based-on-a-true-story (made into a film starring Helen Mirren) where members of a small town group decide to create a nudie calendar of their middle-aged selves as a fundraiser, and then it goes “viral.” We assume though, with no warnings to the contrary, that the nudity will be tasteful. But who cares? 7:30 p.m. www.ottawalittletheatre.comhttp://nac-cna.ca
Now for the threat: The Mackenzie Institute and NATO is putting on the two day “Canada’s Defence Perspectives 2020-2050: Recapitalization and the Canadian Forces,”, which is essentially a bunch of folk from the Department of Defence, security industry, academia and other interested sorts coming together to discuss global threats, Canada’s defence planning and recommendations and procurement, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Chateau Laurier. Tickets: $65-$375, but free for current employees of the federal government and those in the Armed Forces. http://bit.ly/1WGPedR

Enjoy them at a synth-pop dance party, alongside fellow Torontonians Parallels, Featurette and Ottawa’s Coccinella, 10 p.m., House of Targ, 1077 Bank St. Tickets: $7. www.houseoftarg.com

The Zolas are in town with a brand-spanking new album, Swooner (released March 4), that may be a the summer hit for those who prefer some versatility in their playlist: it’s toned down experimental pop, but tempered with a witty nod to 90s dance and alt-rock — think Foo Fighters and Veruca Salt.

Who will win the rubber chicken award, the coveted prize of the Ottawa Theatre Challenge, for which local thespians stay up all night (surely) crafting a scene based on objects of inspiration handed out 24 hours before show time. The hilarity of the performance will be assessed by the audience and a completely impartial panel of judges, though the notes tell me the panel are open to bribes.

The label for Zaphod’s beer.
As part of their 25th year anniversary year of celebration, Zaphod Beeblebrox is launching its very own beer made with Beau’s Brewery, Life, The Universe and Everything (name taken from their inspirational series by Douglas Adams and, we’re sure, the way some feel about beer). The brew is being launched in a special event with Juno Award winning pop-punk band The Flatliners, Audio Visceral and HELLbros and, we are told, there are only a scant couple dozen tickets left.

Aren’t teenagers spooky enough without a dark tale and a chorus?
Let’s call this Theatre (and threat) Tuesday — though the alliteration is a bit hidden.
The Toronto suburbs go gothic in Concord Floral, a play by award-winner Jordan Tannahill about a never-mentioned event at an abandoned hangout that brings with it dark consequences after it is discovered by two teen girls. It is a play loosely based on the medieval The Decameron (as context: this was written about a group of young people gathered to escape the Black Death), but with all the modern narcissism and spooky denial of modern youth in our selfie culture — with some added magic realism. The play opens Thursday, but there are previews tonight and tomorrow, which means cheaper prices can be had. Tickets: $33-$46. nac-cna.ca
Calendar Girls opens at the OLT on Tuesday.

But who cares? 7:30 p.m. www.ottawalittletheatre.comhttp://nac-cna.ca
Now for the threat: The Mackenzie Institute and NATO is putting on the two day “Canada’s Defence Perspectives 2020-2050: Recapitalization and the Canadian Forces,”, which is essentially a bunch of folk from the Department of Defence, security industry, academia and other interested sorts coming together to discuss global threats, Canada’s defence planning and recommendations and procurement, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Chateau Laurier.
