Almost, Maine-ASL Interpreted Performance @ Tacoma Little Theatre
Tickets
May 12 @ 2:00 pm

Welcome to Almost, Maine. It’s love. But not quite.

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.

Recommended for Ages 13+

The Aunties – Women of the Salish Sea, Episode 2 @ Washington Center Main Stage

The Aunties – Women of the Salish Sea, Episode 2 @ Washington Center Main Stage

The Aunties – Women of the Salish Sea features stories by Native American and First Nations Matriarchs, told live from stage to be immortalized in an online series of shorts. The term Aunties is an honorific that signifies a woman or non-binary person who holds a place of significance and respect in their communities. This original Indigenous Performance Production features women and non-binary Aunties who have spent their lives dedicated to serving their communities through the creation of hope, opportunity and connection. The Aunties amplifies their life’s work through a once-in-a-lifetime event featuring traditional storytelling, theater and multimedia arts.

We pay tribute to Aunties and the important role they play in Indigenous communities-of which they have long been recognized as vital caretakers of its connection, tradition and cohesion. Through shared storytelling, Aunties provide a space for everyone to gather to collectively reflect on their pasts and shared identity, as they look for ways towards a better future. The Aunties are the Keepers of their Community. We celebrate them now, at an especially important time due to the loss of so many elders from Covid-19. As Native and Indigenous communities bear the burden of those lost including their leadership, guidance and connections, The Aunties honors their contributions and preserves their stories for future generations to come.

In Partnership with Indigenous Performance Productions

Steve and Kristi Nebel and Walker Sherman in Concert @ Tacoma Second Cycle

Steve and Kristi Nebel are long-time Tacoma residents who were in February of this year voted by the readers of the Weekly-Volcano to be among the city’s “Power Couples”.  Steve draws his wealth of inspiration writing songs from the people and the issues of the times, raising a voice against injustice from time to time, not shying from knife-edge observations about the environmental changes surrounding all of us.

Walker Sherman’s own sound is a unique amalgamation that embodies the emotional rawness of Blues and Grunge and the pared-back twang of Southern rock and folk.
