Hope for the Howlidays @ Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County
Tickets
Dec 31 all-day

Every year, thousands of shelter pets spend the holidays alone, longing for a forever home. We know you can’t adopt all of them, but you can still make a profound difference for animals in need at the Humane Society for Tacoma & Pierce County. While dogs, cats, and critters wait for their new families, you can let these fur babies know they haven’t been forgotten by sponsoring them during this festive time of year!

During this event, you can sponsor a shelter pet to bring comfort and joy to a homeless pet and also provide the food, safe housing, and medical care they need while they wait for their forever home.

Sponsor a shelter pet today!

Tacoma Arts Live presents: GROUNDED, by George Brant. @ Theater on the Square

Confronted with the love of flying mixed with the challenge of fighting a war, female F-16 fighter pilot becomes pregnant. The Air Force grounds her from flying and reassigns her to the drone program in Nevada. Piloting remotely does not sit well. Mothering brings new connection and insight. She struggles to compartmentalize her existence as her two realities as Mother and Pilot become increasingly permeable. From the award-winning playwright George Brant.

Seed Paper class @ Payette's School of Dance
Tickets
Feb 24 @ 6:30 pm

Make your own Seed Paper
Spring will be here soon (hopefully). So join us for this fun class making your very own seed paper! Seed paper is fun to make and easy to grow. You can use your paper as a card or gift for a plant loving friend, or use it to grow your own wildflower garden. Choose from a variety of paper colors and seeds to make your very own unique creation. Paper takes at least 24 hours to dry, so please plan on either coming back to the studio to pick up your finished creation, or bring a towel and box to transport it home while wet. $10/person. Includes all supplies needed to make several sheets of seed paper to take home. Learners may make as many sheets as time allows.

Tacoma Arts Live presents Anna in the Tropics: A Play by Nilo Cruz @ Theatre on the Square
Tickets
Mar 24 @ 7:30 pm

Winner of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize, set in Ybor City, Florida, in 1929. Here, a cadre of Cuban-Americans, primarily female cigar factory laborers who hand roll each cigar await the arrival of their new lector, Juan Julian. The lector serves to entertain the workers by reading great stories. Most of the group is overjoyed by the presence of this new, handsome lector, but when he starts reading from the Russian classic, Anna Karenina, the scandalous lives of Tolstoy’s characters start to intertwine with the lives of his listeners. As Juan Julian reads, the hot, humid Florida summer strangely starts to resemble the cold Russian winter of Tolstoy. Infidelity, money problems, and violence spring to the surface as the owners and workers grapple with their new found understanding of life, love and business. For complete performance schedule and Covid-19 policy, visit website.

Growing a Green Future: Land Use & Sustainability @ Zoom
Tickets
Mar 25 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm

From tree coverage & housing density to walkability & transit access, city design can make sustainable choices the easier option – or make them downright impossible. Join us as we explore how our land use policies and design choices inform the fight against climate change. This free virtual Friday Forum panel event will be held on March 25th from noon – 1:30 p.m. and will feature panelists Kristin Lynett (City of Tacoma Office of Sustainability), Steve Atkinson (City of Tacoma Planning Department), Mariana Sanchez Castillo (Washington Environmental Council), and Marquis Mason (Communities for a Healthy Bay).

Register in advance for this webinar. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. A recording of the panel will be available on DOTG’s Facebook and YouTube accounts. Downtown On the Go’s annual Friday Forum series is a space to discuss transportation issues and opportunities in Tacoma, to recognize real challenges facing downtown commuters and residents, and to learn about new ideas in the transportation world. The 2022 forums are framed around the question what does it mean to be Home in Tacoma? and explore the intersection of housing and transportation as Tacoma looks towards significant housing policy updates.
