You’ll be glad you’re seeing double when identical twins Billy and Bobby McClain take the stage in Rockland. Their show is called “To Hip Hop, With Love,” and the brothers will make your jaw drop with hip-hop dance maneuvers that cross over into vaudeville, robot, tap and mime. The McClains, who grew up in Boston during the ’70s, are pioneers of street dance and have been at it for more than 40 years.

Maine Mariners vs. Norfolk
6 p.m. Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday. Cross Insurance Arena, 1 Civic Center Square, Portland, $12 to $23. marinersofmaine.com
It’s the last two games of the regular season for our Maine Mariners, so if you want to take in all of the icy action, grab tickets for Saturday night or Sunday afternoon. The team clinched a playoff berth when they defeated the Tulsa Oilers on April 2, so there will be more exciting action to cheer on. The Mariners also broke their own record on that day with their 38th win, so they’re clearly on a roll. Fingers crossed these last two games get them plenty fired up for the playoffs!
