Tacoma Arts Live presents Anna in the Tropics: A Play by Nilo Cruz @ Theatre on the Square
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.

Cheri’s Unmentionables @ Odd Otter Brewing Co
Mar 28 @ 7:30 pm

Cheri’s Unmentionables is the funniest game show in town! Watch and laugh as comedians perform a regular set, then do a second set trying to avoid the “Unmentionable” words. If they accidentally say them, they must spin the wheel of consequences. Hilarity ensues!
