We have to start here by jumping in and saying that this is easily one of the most exciting weekends of theatre we've seen in town in months--two festivals running, genre-breaking opera, ballet crossing over into Broadway show tune territory, two shows that have had their runs extended (, you've lost your bloody mind. It doesn't get better than this!
Drop your cynicism at the door and get ready for childlike, wide-eyed delight. The Moisture Festival, now in its fifth year, has the same friendly feeling as the Oregon Country Fair. No surprise, since the festival's founders are long-time performers there. Each evening is a true variety show, with an eclectic mix of unpretentious performers who jump onto the stage and let their talent amaze us, rather than relying on lights and set. Cirque-du-fancy-pants-Soleil this is not. In many ways, it's better.
This year, Moisture Festival, everyone's favorite local showcase of variety performers and circus freaks, is growing up. This Friday and Saturday, Moisture Fest is hosting four very special "late night" burlesque shows at ACT Theatre. The shows (at 7:30 and 10:30) feature clowns, can-can dancers, vaudeville and, of course, burlesque.
MUSIC: The L.A.B. at Seattle Drum School hosts a birthday party for the wife of one of the dudes in Chicken Starship. It's all-ages, so there's no booze, but there will be birthday cake. Considering John Moe's in the band and the entrance fee go towards funding the school, we'll give the lack of alcohol a pass.
and drink lots of beer
What an appropriate time for something called the "Moisture Festival"! Because it's raining out. And wet. Moisture, get it.
