I was waddling into The Swiss the other day to look for my first summer brew of the season. I hadn’t hit the Swiss in a while and totally missed its 15th birthday party last week since I was double booked. So it seemed only fitting that I would venture into

I've talked a bit over the years on how theaters have a tendency to pull their theater seasons together by drawing from a fairly shallow well of works. Generally, theaters want to stage shows that people readily want to see, actors want to perform in, and ones that have name

I’ve done a bit of trash talking about Neil Simon plays over the years. This is particularly because only about three or four of his plays ever seem to find their way onto a stage. Community theaters always seem to stage his “war trilogy,” and that’s about it. But there are

No matter how much we want to deny it or discount it, the South Sound was built by and for the railroad that runs through it. Tacoma was the end of the line for the transcontinental tracks a century ago, and that fact continues to shape who we are as members

I was chatting with Brett Dodd awhile back. He runs Speedway Brewing right down the street from Saint Martin’s University, a prime bar location. But he has a problem that all other brewers of all things beer also worry about. He is running out of hops and has to alter his

I never would have thought that a 6 foot Irish dude could pull off the role of a half Vietnamese-half French brothel owner. But here he is doing just that. Micheal O’Hara plays the role of “the Engineer,” a streetwise, go-go club schemer, in Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s staging of Miss

There are only a few shows I look forward to seeing over and over again. They are shows that always seem to have a little bit of something new and yet familiar. Cabaret is one of those shows. Maybe it is because I yearn for a time when Germany ruled
