From not-quite-hits of the 20’s to a rat in the kitchen, there’s plenty to do around South Slope this weekend. These are our top picks:

**Thursday, January 24**

The 2013 Works in Progress Series is showing at [BAX](http://events.bax.org/?ref=bklyner.com) (421 5th Ave) this weekend. Thursday night features artist in residence for theatre, [Max Steele](http://artistservices.bax.org/artists-in-residence/max-steele/?ref=bklyner.com), and his current work, tentatively titled, “The Encourager.” According to the BAX website, Max is hoping,”to explore the dynamics of radical audience participation, by using a combination of techniques for engaging the crowd. I’m interested in finding a new way for the audience to suspend disbelief. Rather than creating a fantasy world in which the audience can “get lost”, I aim to create a work in which the audience’s is continuously engaged, always present.” Cool. Tickets can be [purchased](https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe/9731442?ref=bklyner.com) in advance on the BAX website for $15 (general admission) or $8 (low income). For additional showings this weekend, check out the full list of artists in residence [here](http://artistservices.bax.org/artists-in-residence/?ref=bklyner.com).

**Friday, January 25**

With names like [Parade Grounds](http://paradegrounds.bandcamp.com/music?ref=bklyner.com) at 9pm, and [Hurrah! Bolt of Light](http://www.hurrahaboltoflight.com/blog/?ref=bklyner.com) at 10pm, you can’t help but get excited about [Bar 4’s](http://bar4brooklyn.com/blog/event/live-music-parade-grounds-hurrah-a-bolt-of-light/?ref=bklyner.com) Friday night music lineup. Check out the bands below. No cover.

**Saturday, January 26**

Talk about throwback, [Barbès](http://www.barbesbrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com) (376 9th Street) will feature [Daria Grace & the Pre-War Ponies](https://www.facebook.com/PreWarPonies) this Saturday at 8pm. The band sings “not-quite hits from the 20’s, 30’s, and 40’s,” and are a blast and a half. Go. No cover.

**Sunday, January 27**

We believe that cartoons are for adults, too, and wholeheartedly recommend this Sunday’s showing of [Ratatouille](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382932/?ref=bklyner.com) at [Cafe Steinhof](http://cafesteinhof.com/event/ratatouille-2007/?ref=bklyner.com) (422 7th Ave). Cozy up with some liquid warmth, a little Austrian comfort food, and cheer on everyone’s favorite rat, as he claws his way to success in the French culinary world. The free movie starts at 10:30pm.
