• Posted Miss Witherspoon Weathers the Netherworld to Seattlest
  Act Theatre's latest offering, Miss Witherspoon by Christopher Durang, is the perfect balance to their previous effort, The Pillowman. Both plays feature crucifixion talk and an impending sense of doom, but Witherspoon contains an unlikely amount of hope to counterbalance Pillowman's bleak outlook. This hope is quite out of character for playwright Durang, but the play's first act regurgitates many of his misanthropic tendencies and then easily segues into said hopefulness. It makes sense, though....

A new gallery between Washington and Yesler on 1st Avenue is showing the art of Jeera Ratanangkoon. The MiKiJio Gallery, with its...
• Posted Oh My Heavens to Seattlest
  Listen up bridge and ferry people! Have we got a club for you!! Hidden away in the touristy nightlife epicenter of Seattle is newly opened, poorly painted The Heavens. If you're looking for a club for your next bachelorette party, then this is the place for you! The staff--from doormen, to coat check, to bartenders--have never been coached on the ways of club courtesy and will make you feel out of place from the moment...
