Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream @ Tacoma Armory
Tickets
Sep 1 @ 8:00 pm

Guests are invited to bring blankets and low profile beach chairs and make themselves comfortable on the floor, or be seated in our standard chairs provided by the house. Please indicate your preference when reserving tickets.
Tacoma Arts Live invites you to immerse yourself in a unique theatrical experience of Shakespeare’s, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Director Deanna Martinez reinvents this whimsical romantic comedy by rooting it in a celebration of Boricua-Hawaiiana culture. Magic, potions, and mystery are met with hula, ipu heke, and true aloha spirit in this fantastical escape. Hawaii will fully surround the audience and performers through beautiful, huge projections created by flora&faunavisions, the designers behind Utopian Garden.

This is ‘Shakespeare in the Park… in the Armory.’ Wear aloha shirts and flower crowns, and bring your beach towels, leis, lauhala mats, pillows, and low-profile beach chairs to enjoy the enchanting oasis inside Tacoma Armory.

We are delighted to collaborate with our cultural consultants from the Asia Pacific Cultural Center, who are supporting the music and movement for A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Taegeukgi: Flag of Destiny @ Tacoma Historical Society
Tickets
Sep 8 @ 6:30 pm

Join Tacoma Historical Society for our September Monthly Program presented by visiting historian Sung Kyu Kim, President of the 1893 Corea Memorial Association, the Korean New World Discovery Society and the World Traditional Whale Culture Institute of South Korea. Sung Kyu Kim will be sharing the history and legacy of the Northern Pacific Monad and it’s connection to the Korean Flag.

Although Korean Flags ‘Taegeukgi’ were buried or hidden during Japanese colonization, the ‘Taegeukgi logos of the Northern Pacific Railway were running everyday, with thousands of passengers, on the American Transcontinental Railroad. The Northern Pacific logo of the Tacoma Union Station watches the Korean Peninsula over the Pacific Ocean everyday, connecting the ‘City of Destiny’ to the ‘Flag of Destiny’ in Korean history.

Historian Sung Kyu Kim splits his time between Illinois and South Korea. Mr. Kim has taken part in several research expeditions and lectures around the world. Currently, Mr. Kim is advocating for a memorial to be built at the original location of the Korean Pavilion during the 1893 Chicago Columbia Exposition.

Refreshments will be provided. Doors open at 6:00pm for exhibit viewing, talk begins at 6:30pm. This event is FREE or by donation. Donations can be made through Eventbrite or at the door.
