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
Tickets
May 16 @ 7:30 pm
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

13th Annual Gig Harbor Beer Festival Benefits Local Kiwanis 

Spring has finally sprung — time to welcome it properly at the 13th Annual Gig Harbor Beer Festival. This year’s event will be held Saturday, May 18, 2024, at the Gig Harbor Uptown Pavilion, 4701 Pt. Fosdick Dr. This long-running popular event features a wide-variety of craft brewers from around the Puget Sound bringing their very best suds for sample pours from 12 noon to 5:00 PM.

More brewers will be added soon, but here’s what the list looks like so far:

  • 7 Seas Brewing
  • Acorn Brewing
  • Bent Bine Brewing
  • Crane Castle Brewing
  • Ghostfish Brewing
  • Gig Harbor Brewing
  • Lazy Boy Brewing
  • Narrows Brewing
  • Rainy Daze Brewing
  • Ridgeline Brewing
  • Silver City Brewery
  • San Juan Seltzer
  • Locust Cider
  • 2 Towns Cider

Gig Harbor’s own Heritage Distilling Company will also be in attendance again this year offering samples of their award-winning spirits — always a very special treat for event goers.

The LIVE Music venue includes three local artists/bands: Classic rock from RAUCOUS, country music singer, Gene Sievers, and headlining again this year is Harbor favorite, My Guilty Pleasure.

This year looks like it could be another sellout. If you don’t have tickets, go here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/13th-annual-gig-harbor-beer-festival-tickets-815717843027?aff=ebdshpsearchautocomplete
