Can't Miss It: Tuesday
HIPHOP THEATRE: Described as a "hip-hop renaissance man," Marc Bamuthi Joseph brings his hiphop theater multimedia production, the break/s, to Seattle (runs through July 12). David Schmader seems to like it, and after reading more about it, we can totally understand why. Joseph, a dancer, award-winning poet, and educator, makes what is described as a "mixtape for the stage" with turntables and djs, visual imagery, dance, and spoken word (story and poetry) from personal interviews and documentary footage.
7:30 p.m. // ACT Theatre, 700 Union Street// Tickets: $10/ $15 (students w/ ID), $37.50/ $50 (adults)
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF IRISH LACE MAKING: As we noted yesterday, Heather Barbieri is reading from her latest novel, The Lace Makers of Glenmara tonight. Barbieri is a local writer and we encourage anyone interested in reading her second work of fiction to come out and show the love. Think beautiful Irish landscapes, insight into making lace, and seaside romance.
7 p.m. // Third Place Books (LFP), 17171 Bothell Way NE // FREE
DAVID CARRADINE'S LAST STAND: David Carradine, most famous for his roles in Kill Bill and Kung Fu, recently passed away in an accidental death. Central Cinema is paying homage to the late actor by showing his infamous 1975 B-movie, Death Race 2000 (with Sylvester Stallone), only until July 8. Thanks, Central Cinema, for making it easy for us to pay our respects and have some amazing stone oven pizza, along with a glass of wine or pint of beer, while saying goodbye from the comfort of a cushy couch.
7 p.m. // Central Cinema, 1411 21st Avenue // Tickets: $6
