AUDITIONS: LAURA FEBRUARY 3RD & FEBRUARY 4TH

by Leave a Comment

Tacoma Little Theatre is holding auditions for its multiracial production of the noir classic, Laura, written by Vera Caspary and George Sklar, and directed by Randy Clark.

Auditions will be held Sunday, February 3rd and Monday, February 4th at Tacoma Little Theatre. Audition appointments will be set between the times of 6:00pm-9:00pm on Sunday and 7:00pm-10:00pm on Monday in five-minute increments. Callbacks will be held on Wednesday, February 6th.

When Mark McPherson first falls in love with Laura, he knows he’s in love with a phantom—for Laura is dead, and he’s in charge of her murder investigation. From her portrait, her letters, her personal effects, and from his contacts with the three men who loved her, Mark has created an image of a woman tantalizingly alive and real.  As the detective grows obsessed with the case, he finds himself falling in love with the dead woman.  What really happened to Laura?

Actors are asked to prepare a two-minute memorized monologue of their choice.

Actors of all ethnicities are encouraged to audition and all roles are available:  Mark McPherson (male, 30-45), Danny Dorgan (male, 16-20), Waldo Lydecker (male, 40-50), Shelby Carpenter (male, 30-35), Bessie Clary (female, 30-60), Mrs. Dorgan (female, 40-50), Officer Olsen (male, 25-35), A Girl (female, 20-30).

About the Featured Chef: DONNA MOODIE of MARJORIE restaurant (Capitol Hill)
Born in Jamaica and raised in Chicago, Donna found her way into her mother’s kitchen at an early age. What left the biggest impression wasn’t just the food, but her mother’s gracious hospitality always hosting dinner parties, always finding room for one more guest at the table, with the standard of perfection being the comfort and pleasure of those around her.

Donna moved to Seattle in 1993 and opened her first restaurant, Marcos Supperclub, with former husband and business partner. It opened to great acclaim and by 1997, the pair had a second smash hit on their hands with Lush Life, which featured regional Italian cuisine in a sleek, romantic setting. Both restaurants globetrotting menus and a mix of sophistication and funky charm anticipated important trends on the Seattle dining scene, and their popular success helped revitalize the city’s then derelict and deserted Belltown neighborhood.

Donna branched out on her own, transforming Lush Life into Marjorie, paying tribute to the inspiration for her lifelong affair with hospitality. Enjoying five successful years in Belltown, Marjorie relocated to Seattle’s vibrant and eclectic Capitol Hill neighborhood, opening its doors in the spring of 2010.

Having clearly established herself as a trailblazing restauranteur, Donna is President and CEO of Mint Holdings, a food, and design company she created in 2008. Donna also serves as a Mayor-appointed commissioner for the Seattle Center. She is a former Board President and Director of the Central District Forum for Arts and Ideas and served on the Capitol Hill Housing Foundation Board.

Donna enthusiastically parents her son Max, travels, and occasions boxing and yoga studios in Seattle, paddleboarding when whether permits.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN WRITERS’ ALLIANCE POETRY READING

by Leave a Comment

Join a diverse and dynamic collective of Seattle-are writers of African de- scent. This forum provides an informal and supportive venue for new and published writers. Meets every second Monday of the month!

Monday, January 14, 2019

Third Place Books—Seward Park 5041 Wilson Ave S. Seattle, WA 98118 7 to 8 PM

 

ABOUT AAWA –
The African-American Writers’ Alliance, a diverse and dynamic collective of Seattle-area writers of African descent, provides an informal and supportive forum for new and published writers.
We help one another polish our skills, provide peer review, and create opportunities for public readings and other media venues. Ultimately the group encourages members to publish individually and collectively.
Our stories—triumphs, tragedies, and whatever is within and between the two—are the history of African Americans. We must tell our stories in our words and encourage others to do the same.

WHO WE ARE –
We are published authors and novices. We are professional writers and late-night storytellers. We are Baby Boomers and Millennials. We are world travelers, we are homebodies. We are African-American men and women from all walks of life who have words bursting to make their way through us.

OUR HISTORY-
Californian Randee Eddins called to order what became the first meeting of the African-American Writers’ Alliance in February 1991.  She encouraged an exchange of ideas, works in progress and sharing our poems, stories, essays, plays, and novels.  In this mutually supportive setting, writers listened and shared their work without censure.
AAWA continues its mission at our monthly meetings (Saturdays, Columbia City Branch of the Seattle Library, library opening until noon). The fringe benefit is sharing what we write with an audience other than ourselves.  We read in many Puget Sound venues:  Elliot Bay Bookstore, Arts/4 Culture, Columbia City Gallery, Gallery 110. and the Sundiata Festival.
AAWA has published four anthologies:  Sometimes I Wander in 1998, Gifted Voices in 2000, Words? Words! Words in 2004, Threads in 2009, and Voices That Matter in 2018.

30 YEARS – So Much More Then Cuts and Styles… Earl’s 30th Anniversary Roast

by Leave a Comment

Since 1992, Earl’s Cuts and Styles has earned a reputation for providing the most professional barbering services and quality customer service in the pacific northwest. Located in the Central District of Seattle simply known as Earl’s by seattleites continues to exceed customer expectations.

Earl Lancaster has been running Earl’s Cuts and Styles in heart of the Central District for 30 years. He’s the man behind the scissors, but he insists he’s just the “first person they come to when bills need to be paid.” The shop is a community gathering place and a training ground for up and coming barbers, and, of course, a place to get your hair cut. Earl’s is at 23rd and Union — an area of significant and sometimes controversial development over the past several years — and will be relocating across the street once the Liberty Bank Building is finished.

 

 

 

 

 

The Central Area Community, Customers, Family, and Beloved Friends join AfricaTOWN in celebrating 30 Years of Black Excellence with Earls Cut and Styles 30 of 30 Anniversary Roast.
There’s nothing like laughter, music, and memories to honor a community legend and legacy.

Tacoma Hip-Hop in 2018

by Leave a Comment

Tacoma Hip-Hop in 2018
by Josh Rizeberg

This was one of the strongest years for Tacoma Hip-Hop that I can remember. Shouts out to Clemm
Rishad for continually making national noise with his writing credits and props to Sonny Bonoho who is
out there directing videos for artists all around the country.
There were four albums I wanted to highlight and encourage Washington readers to listen to. Here are
my top four (yeah not five) Tacoma Hip-Hop releases for 2018. Lone-Wolf and Kub is a Hip-Hop duo
consisting of a Father and Son. The Father is Washington Hip-Hop veteran Shao Sosa. Sosa is known
from the Tri-Cities to Portland and everywhere in between for his Hip-Hop career. He recently took his
Son under his wing to complete a project. His son is Nobi and they both M.C. the entire album. This is
high-art Hip-Hop. It is dense, layered, deep, thoughtful, lyrical, boom-bap. There is nothing stale about
this boom-bap however. It is entrenched in mythological Kung-Fu nostalgia and has a comic-book aura
to it that gives life to the project. Lone Wolf and Kub is the group and the album is self-titled. It is
currently available on all digital outlets.
Next up is Don James with his 5 th album and 4 th solo-release titled “Black Super Mario”. From the title
you can tell that this is a very creative project. Don James is definitely one of Tacoma’s favorite M.C.’s.
He has the perfect mix of intelligence, street-smarts, and regular-guy relatability that make him pleasing
to any listener. Get Black Super Mario on Don James’s Bandcamp page.
Then there is John Crown’s “No Lanes”. John Crown has been putting it down in Tacoma since the early
00’s. He is a talented poet, rapper, and photographer. Crown has numerous notable releases and “No
Lanes” may be the best of them. This is a shorter project with only seven songs but it has all the gravitas
one could need. There are not many M.C.’s who let you into their personal-lives and personality like
John. He is extremely honest and this is one of his strengths. John Crown has bars, vulnerability, humor,
sadness, and swag. The project is just like John: a complicated, beautiful, frustrating, emotional roller-
coaster, taking listeners through every peak and valley he has experienced. Be prepared to laugh and
cry.
Finally BARZ

put out a very serious album titled “Parkland”. It is a hyper-local ride through the opioid-
crisis currently crippling Pierce County. Even though this album microscopically focuses on Parkland, the
drug-problems, poverty, and all the related ills that come with the epidemic are so universal that this
album could rock anywhere. You can tell that this was a heartfelt release from Barz. He had to battle
censorship just to keep the album art-work up on digital-sites. So go check-out what the controversy is
all about!
To round out the year we cannot forget that Jacmov and his label So Active stayed just that. He was by
far the busiest artist of the year putting-out more music and doing more shows than anyone else. He
even let some light shine on one of his artist’s Littoral. Littoral got a lot of props this year as well
releasing a slew of popular videos, “Tacoma Love” featuring Phinisey, “Reach for my 40”, and “Bitter
Sweet Symphony”. Last but not least look out for Real Kozby in 2019. He formally was known as
Youngstarr. Kozby spit a lot of heat this year by focusing on short videos and freestyles that he
continually dropped through 2018. Hopefully we get a full-length project from him in 2019.

Lastly I giving single of the year to the OG’s Deeale featuring Raw One of EVG4LIFE for “Ballin and
Blowing”. This song had a rider type feel, classic sound, but did not come across as dated. Check for the
single on BBL Label music. The single made waves all the way up to Seattle and had a good run on
college-radio nationally.

BOHEMIA – A whimsical display of aerial, dance, comedy, burlesque, and more

by Leave a Comment

Set in 1890s Prague and Soaked in Absinthe
Opal Peachey and Mark Siano Present

BOHEMIA

A whimsical display of aerial, dance, comedy, burlesque, and more
set to live Dvorák, Chopin, Debussy, with original musical works
interwoven with familiar classics.
Featuring a new piece that promises to be a luminescent spectacular
The illustrious Triple Door transforms into 1890s Prague in Bohemia, a story about love, classical music, art nouveau, green fairies and absinthe. Presented by Opal Peachey and Mark Siano, this new musical combines live orchestral music from composers Antonín Dvorák and Frédéric Chopin, with original musical works; a set inspired by the art of Alphonse Mucha; and historic artists Sarah Bernhardt and George Sand interweave with beautiful green fairies, aerial numbers, dance, burlesque, classical piano battles, comedy, and new and original songs.
Bohemia runs January 17 – 26, 2019 for only 13 performances at the Triple Door. For tickets and information, call the Triple Door box office at (206) 838-4333 or visit their website at www.thetripledoor.net.

The story centers around famous Bohemian composer Antonín Dvorák who has hit a wall prior to composing his magnum opus. In a move of desperation he turns to a bottle of absinthe for inspiration. In this macabre and mystical dream cabaret, Dvorák is visited by the ghost of late composer Frédéric Chopin and a host of green fairies. Chopin and many other famous Bohemians guide Dvorák as they search for the true source of inspiration and grasp at artistic immortality.
“A new original piece Keep Dreaming, which sounds like Erik Satie mixed with Elton John and Florence and the Machine, will be an eye popping number,” said Director Mark Siano. “It’s a spectacle that people will be talking about. Hundreds of miniature LED lights attached to the dancers will illuminate the stage as green fairies attempt to lure the struggling composer Dvorak into a dream state.”
Traditional Absinthe service will be available in the VIP section of the Triple Door and served by dancing green fairies during intermission for those who wish to try the wormwood for themselves. This year, Lucid Absinthe and Jade Absinthes are official liquor sponsors and are available for purchase at the show.
At the helm of the show is Mark Siano, the director of holiday sellout hit A Very Die Hard Christmas, and comedy writer with acclaimed The Habit. Cafe Nordo star and co-producer Opal Peachey stars as Chopin – both the character and one of Chopin’s nocturnes. Bohemia promises to be fun and lively, with drink service a plenty.
Cast of Bohemia include Tori Spero Dullenty as Wormwood, Hisam Goueli as Mucha/Malabron,Katheryn Reed as Rusalka, Gabriela Sanchez Samano as Faye, Bo Mellinger as Vodník, Claire Marxas George Sand, Pamela Turpen as Sarah Bernhardt, Opal Peachey as Frédéric Chopin, Isobella Bloom as Zuzanna, Tanya Brno as Camille, and Mark Siano as Antonín Dvořák.
Bohemia is written by Opal Peachey and Mark Siano. Musical direction by Dayton Allemann, composition by Dayton Allemann, Mark Siano, and Opal Peachey, and musicians performing live on stage include Dayton Alleman (piano, flute, percussion) and Andy Wickell (violin) and others soon to be cast. Set design created by Ron Darling and Mark Siano, costume design by Kit Goldsworthy, production design by Robin Nunnally, photography and additional design by Max Shaw and Julia Nardin, and poster design by Thea Roe.

17th annual Polar Bear Plunge set for Jan. 1 at Matthews Beach

by Leave a Comment

Start off the New Year with a splash!

Seattle Parks and Recreation and the Meadowbrook Community Center Advisory Council are co-sponsoring the 17th annual Polar Bear Plunge at noon on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2019 at Matthews Beach, 9300 51st Ave. NE. Registration begins at 10 a.m., and the plunge starts at noon sharp.

A 2019 Commemorative Badge of Courage will be given to all heroic Polar Bear participants who immerse themselves neck-deep in the water. The patch will show the world that participants braved the frigid waters.

Warming refreshments will be served. While people wait for the plunge to kick off, there will be a variety of food trucks available, games, a photo booth, music, and a t-shirt/sweatshirt vendor.

As in previous years, younger polar bears and anyone else who needs a little more room can take part in the Polar Cub Club part of the event immediately preceding the main plunge. For the truly hearty, double-dipping is allowed.

Seattle Parks and Recreation offers a few tips for enjoying a fun, safe swim:

  • Make the plunge even more special by dressing up in a costume!
  • Come early, and carpool or take the bus (you can plan your trip at http://tripplanner.kingcounty.gov/).
  • If you have heart problems or other serious medical concerns, we recommend that you consult your healthcare professional before taking the Polar Bear Plunge. If you can’t go in the water, come and watch!
  • Don’t drink alcohol–it doesn’t warm you up, and it accelerates hypothermia.
  • Stay in the water for no longer than 15 minutes—you lose body heat 25 times faster in water than in air.
  • Keep your outer clothing on until you’re ready to get in the water. After the plunge, remove wet clothing before getting into dry clothes.

The Polar Bear Plunge was the first official event of its kind in the Seattle area and has inspired other, similar events throughout the region. Janet Wilson, Aquatic Center Coordinator at Meadowbrook Pool, started the event on Jan. 1, 2003. About 300 people participated in that first Polar Bear Plunge, and since then the attendance has soared to more than 1,900 brave bears. Follow the Facebook event here for updates.

In their honor, I’m excited to be able to invite people to come for free to the Conservatory again.” (The Conservatory had been a free experience until 2013)

SPR and FOC encourage everyone, especially those who have never visited before, as well as school groups planning field trips, to take advantage of this opportunity to discover the Conservatory at no cost.

The Conservatory’s Poinsettia and Holiday Train Display will be up and running through January 1, 2019, and the FOC offers free docent tours by appointment Tuesdays through Sundays (except the first Saturday of the month). To schedule a tour, please email foc@volunteerparkconservatory.org.

Regular admission will be reinstated on March 1, 2019. Adults $4; Youth $2; Kids under age 12 are always free.

Many thanks to the Bennett-Shear Family for making the Conservatory accessible to all during this holiday season.
