Nationally Touring Comedian Sam Miller @ McMenamins Spanish Ballroom

Get ready for a night of raw, honest, and wildly funny stand-up as Sam Miller brings his nationally touring comedy to McMenamins Spanish Ballroom in Tacoma on Thursday, May 22.

Standing 6’6″ and 360 pounds, Sam is a larger-than-life performer with stories to match. From addiction and jail time to sobriety and fatherhood, his journey is equal parts chaotic and inspiring — and always hilarious. His debut special Round Trip hit number one on the iTunes Comedy Chart, and he recently signed a three-album deal with Grammy-winning Stand Up! Records.

Whether you’ve seen him on stage, online, or heard his name buzzing across the PNW comedy scene, this is your chance to catch Sam live for an unforgettable night of laughter.

Doors at 6:00 PM | Show at 7:00 PM

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow is Enuf @ Lakewood Playhouse

“…somebody/anybody, sing a black girl’s song, bring her out to know herself to know you…”
By Ntozake Shange
Directed by Michelle Matlock

Join the circle as seven women share their stories and find strength in each other’s truth, passion and humor. This fusion of poetry, dance, music and song explodes off the stage and touches the hearts and minds of all those who experience it. It’s time for joy. It’s time for sisterhood. It’s time for colored girls.

“The poems introduce the girls to other kinds of people of color, other worlds. To adventure, and kindness, and cruelty. Cruelty that we usually think we face alone, but we don’t. We discover that by sharing with each other we find strength to go on. The poems are the play’s first hint of the global misogyny that we women face.” – Ntozake Shange

“A poignant, gripping, angry and beautiful work.” – Time

“A triumphant event, filled with humor. Pure theatre.” – New York Daily News

Please note: this production contains strong language, reflections on rape and abuse, and mature themes.
