Five things to do in Brooklyn this week!

Friday

April 22

Shot stuff

The primaries are over in New York, so we can all chill out about politics until November. So why not relax with a nice, non-partisan musical like “Killing Republicans,” from Coney Island impresario Dick Zigun? The rock opera, opening tonight, explores the long history of assassinations against leaders of the Grand Old Party.

8 pm and 10 pm at Coney Island USA’s Shooting Gallery Arts Annex (1214 Surf Ave. between Stillwell Avenue and W. 12th Street in Coney Island, www.coneyisland.com). $15 ($20 for two).

Saturday

Playing bridge

Enjoy the warmer weather by heading to a party in Brooklyn Bridge Park! The day is aimed at kids, with bands like Moona Luna (pictured), but everyone can enjoy the “Dog Olympics,” or pose with the 20-foot long wooden replica of the Brooklyn Bridge, woven with ivy and flowers, which will be on display. Sounds like an Instagram opportunity!

11 am–2 pm in Brooklyn Bridge Park (Plymouth Street between Main and Adams streets in Dumbo, www.littlefieldnyc.com). Free.

Sunday

Bendy brunch

Late-night dance parties? So 2015. Kids these days start the party as soon as they wake up, rolling out of bed in their pajamas, doing yoga at 10 am, dancing at 11 am, and slamming coffee and danishes to keep it going. You can join the footie-pajama-clad masses at Sundaybreaker at House of Yes.

Hit him with your best shot: In the new rock musical “Killing Republicans,” opening on April 22, Princess Pat will briefly play President Abraham Lincoln, as well as the pop star Goodness Gracious.

Tat’s all, folks

Anyone with a tattoo had a good reason to get it — or their bad reasoning will make for a great story. Hear some of those tales at the tattoo talk “Skin as a Canvas,” where storytellers share their motivations for permanently dying their skin, and also discuss the history and art of tattooing. We doubt anyone can top a full-back image of the Brooklyn Bridge!

7 pm at Bric House [647 Fulton St. at Rockwell Place in Fort Greene, (718) 683–5600, www.bricartsmedia.org]. Free.

Revving up

The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is a bit of a contradiction. With just three members, it is not big, and with an ordained reverend at the helm, it is probably not damned. But it definitely is catchy, with a boot-stomping blend of Delta blues, ragtime, folk, and country.

8 pm at Brooklyn Bowl [61 Wythe Ave. between N. 11th and N. 12th streets in Williamsburg, (718) 963–3369], www.brooklynbowl.com]. $15 ($12 in advance).
