It’s time to get your weekend on, and the Post <\/em>knows exactly what you should do. Read on to learn about things to do in Long Beach these next few days.<\/p>\n

The first part of getting your weekend on is getting your groove on. The second installment of DiscoNoise, a three-part summer series of sonic events <\/a>featuring an adventurous program of music and dance beats created by \u201cnoise artists\u201d for your curious ears and toe-tapping tendencies, will take place on Friday evening, July 1. Bent circuits, plug-ins, sine wave generators and video projections will fill the Bungalow Art Center on Pine Avenue for all those interested in an evening of experimental sound.<\/p>\n

In other Friday activities, visit the theater for the opening night of Shout! The Mod Musical. <\/em>Andi Jones Music & Productions will present Shout! The Mod Musical<\/em><\/a> to bring back the \u201cbeautiful birds and smashing sounds that made England swing in the 60\u2019s,\u201d according to the announcement, at the Ernest Borgnine Theatre in Long Beach, to be shown through the end of the month. Mini skirts and white gogo boots were the name of the game in Shout! The Mod Musical<\/em>, an off-Broadway hit about five women living in a 1960s London. Favorites by Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and Lulu, with a few American favorites sprinkled throughout, are spun into the historic yarn of magazine covers, voiceovers and appalling advice from a Dear Abby figure to address and display the culture, politics and humanity of the decade.<\/p>\n

Or perhaps you’re looking for something a bit more classic. Starting Saturday, Musical Theatre West, the Carpenter Performing Arts Center and The Art Theatre will present three unique perspectives of the dancer, choreographer, actor, singer, film director, the American legend, Gene Kelly over the next month<\/a>. A three-week run of the Broadway stage spectacle will take place at Musical Theatre West, a screening of “An American in Paris” will be shown at The Art Theatre and a Q&A session with widow, biographer and celebrated film historian Patricia Ward Kelly will be held at the Carpenter Performing Arts Center.<\/p>\n

\"\"If its sports you’re looking for, WE Labs will be hosting a Beach Clean Up and International Spikeball Day<\/a> at Granada Beach with Long Beach Clean UP, Chico Spikeball and Anderson Hardware. According to organizers Ted Sieving of WE Labs and Chico Spikeball\u2019s Skyler Boles, the event will begin at 9:00AM with a 30 minute beach clean up, followed by 10:00AM Spikeball tutorials by the Chico Spikeball team and lastly, tournaments starting at 12:00PM.<\/p>\n

The last event to spice up your weekend involves sauce. LOTS of it. High River Sauces proudly presents the West Coast’s most distinguished hot sauce event, the 1st Annual California Hot SauceExpo 2015<\/a>, at Rainbow Lagoon (Long Beach, CA) on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12, 2015. Happening for the first time ever in California, Long Beach will have the honor of hosting High River Sauces as the company brings together 45 of the greatest hot sauce brands from throughout the nation, including the finest purveyors from California.<\/p>\n

Get moving and get grooving, Long Beach. <\/p>\n
