“Girls Rock”
Ages 8 and older
At Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp, girls ranging in age from 8 to 18 are taught that it’s OK to sweat like a pig, scream like a banshee, wail on their instruments with complete and utter abandon, and that “it is 100 percent OK to be exactly who you are.” The girls have a week to select a band, an instrument they may have never played before, and write a song. In between, indie rock chicks teach them various lessons of empowerment from self-defense to anger management. All the band perform a concert for more than 700 people.
n 4 p.m. Feb. 5 at Box Factory for the Arts

“Man on a Mission”
All ages
Firmly ensconced in the geeky pantheon of computer legends since high school, Richard Garriott can afford to pursue his dreams — even wildly improbable ones. Richly funny and invigorating, “Man on a Mission” tags along with Richard on his years-long quest to be the second Garriott into space. And maybe come back.

“Most Valuable Players”
Ages 10 and older
