The intrepid Secret Cinema presents a typically intriguing program of vintage short films about the two-wheeler. Films in the program: The Day the Bicycles Disappeared from 1967, in which a town's bikes ride off by themselves and announce they are on strike until the local kids adopt safer riding practices; 1978's We Decide: Trade-Offs,  in which school students debate and vote on solutions to a lack of bicycle-rack spaces; Disney's 1955 animated short I'm No Fool With a Bicycle, a safety lesson disguised as a comical history of  self-propelled contraptions, starring Jiminy Cricket; the compelling 1969 drama The Bike, with then-experimental  handheld camerawork from cinematographer Caleb Deschanel (a Philadelphia native and Emily and Zooey's dad), in which two boys' joyride with a souped-up, banana-seated special stolen from a neighbor takes a wrong turn; the 1981 documentary Psychling, chronicling John Marino's grueling attempt to set a coast-to-coast bicycle speed record;  and the 1941 proto-music video A Bicycle Built For Two featuring the Eton Boys vocal quartet. — M.H.

This inventive show re-creates the original American adventure on a two-foot-high, 21-foot-square platform, with seven actors using only their voices and bodies (and pantomime cannons) to tell the story from George III to George Washington, Lexington to Concord, Thomas Paine to Thomas Jefferson. The Theater Unspeakable show at the Arden Theatre ends its run this weekend. — M.H.

The New York-via-Idaho comedian and writer has already put together an impressive resume, performing with Second City, writing for the Onion, going to the US Air Guitar national finals three times, and being fired from a job with Blue Man Group (not blue enough?).  Now he's on the road with his latest collection of solo sketches, characters, and bits. — M.H.

Many of us go through a phase of knotting a blanket around our shoulders, proclaiming we are Rock Boy or Rainbow Sparkle Girl, and saving the world from evil (some of us even outgrow it — though we've been known to dust off  our super-duds once in a while to battle miscreants as the heroic Ham Fist). This Garden State Discovery event features well-known power pals such as Batgirl, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, and Captain America, and gives super small fry the chance to test their abilities such as web-slinging, wall-crashing, navigating obstacle courses, and flying via zipline while capturing villains. — M.H.

6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Garden State Discovery Museum, 2040 Sprindale Rd., Cherry Hill. $30, http://www.discoverymuseum.com.

Ruthie Foster has garnered numerous awards and accolades in the blues field. But the Austin, Texas, singer is really an Americana artist — her sound also encompasses soul, gospel, folk, and rock, as you can hear on her stirring new album, Joy Comes Back. The blues is the wellspring of it all, however, so it's fitting that at 8:15 p.m. Saturday, she will headline this annual event in Media featuring 25 acts at 23 indoor venues and two outdoor stages.  — Nick Cristiano

6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, State Street, Media. $20, 610-566-5039, www.statestreetblues.com.

Harmony Tividad and Cleo Tucker were recent high school grads in Los Angeles when they recorded Girlpool's 2015 debut, Before the World Was Big, an album of close harmonies and singsong melodies atop deliberately simple guitar and bass that recalled the lo-fi punk-folk of K Records. The duo relocated to Philadelphia for a time and played DIY shows around town when they weren't touring. They returned to LA to work on their second album, the new Powerplant. With the addition of drummer Miles Wintner, Tividad and Tucker amp up and stretch out songs while retaining their knack for a clever lyric: "I faked global warming just to get close to you," they sing in "It Gets More Blue." — Steve Klinge

8:30 p.m. Saturday at Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St. $15, 215-232-2100, utphilly.com.

If Connie's Ric Rac in the dark heart of the Italian Market is having any kind of "old-school" or "hard-core" night, believe that it will be an adventure, no matter who is doing what. Just hanging in front of Connie's when the doors are open and the bar's overflowing is a weird treat. Old-school punk or industrial might best describe the congregation of Joann Rogan's lo-tech Thorazine, Empire Rock Club, the Heels, and the mighty Stepping Razor — the hard-core mixed with reggae act from members of Anvil. Either way, have a good time. — A.D. Amorosi

9 p.m. Saturday, Connie's Ric Rac, 1132 S. Ninth St. Call for ticket prices, 267-908-4311, conniesricrac.com.
