Can't Miss It: Wednesday

Suzanne-Morrison.gifTHEATRE: Suzanne Morrison's one-woman show Yoga Bitch is the tonight's highlight at SPF 2-Sweatproof!, the solo performance festival ongoing at the Theatre Off Jackson. Morrison's show recounts her trip to Bali for a two-month yoga retreat that illustrates, if nothing else, that the path to inner peace and killer abs has some hairpin turns in it. We found a Yoga Bitch excerpt on YouTube and were persuaded to see the whole thing.

7pm // Theatre Off Jackson, 7th & Jackson // Tickets: $15

BOOKS: Jenifer Fox is president of New Jersey's Purnell School and an advocate of discovering children's strengths. This approach flies in the face of the traditional 3 Ds: "Deprecate, Dismiss & Devalue." She'll be talking about her book, Your Child's Strengths: Discover Them, Develop Them, Use Them. Not since Thomas Paine's Common Sense have we heard of a book title with so much...common sense...in it.

7:30pm // Town Hall, 8th & Seneca // $5

CHORAL MUSIC: Ladysmith Black Mambazo ditched that deadweight Paul Simon after one album and carried on with their Zulu-Christian mash-up. They are seven bass voices, an alto, a tenor, and Joseph Shabalala singing lead.

"In Zulu singing there are three major sounds," Shabalala explains. "A high keening ululation; a grunting, puffing sound that we make when we stomp our feet; and a certain way of singing melody. Before Black Mambazo you didn't hear these three sounds in the same songs."
The new album is called Ilembe: Honoring Shaka Zulu.

8pm // Moore Theatre, 2nd & Virginia // Tickets: $40


The listed events were chosen by the editors of Seattlest and brought to you by the Click Here2009 Toyota Corolla.
