Fruit Loops and beer tasting

There are few people in the booze business who would not shake their heads about the screwy laws Washington state has on the books when it comes to beer and wine sales. Don’t get them talking about laws governing hard liquor as well. They are clearly insane. They require strict

All hail Dorkness

While Tacoma has been the site of big hit movies over the years, it really hasn't been host to local talent that made a film that made it big. Until now. Tacoma's Dead Gentlemen Productions has released its latest film and found it rocketing to the top of the Netflix request

The perfect musical

I’ve always been a nature over nurture sort of a person. I believe that people are more driven by their genetic code and less by their upbringing than most people want to admit. That is not to say that we are completely predetermined to be successes or failures in life the

Where’s the ugly one?

Reviewing strip shows for quality performances is always a tricky business. While I am in no way a veteran of the world of erotic dancing in the South Sound, this pseudo Sex Issue required me to venture into the land of brass poles, gelled lights and $10 sodas. Every reporter

You're in with Urine

There are a few shows in the theater world that just don’t get the respect they deserve. West Side Story is the grandfather of them for being staged as a ‘50s rock throwback as if it doesn’t have anything modern to say, for example. That show is just as modern

A Twain worth riding

It is difficult for people in the Pacific Northwest to understand the complexities of race relations in southern states, where some would argue that the “War of Northern Aggression” had little to do with slavery but the fundamental rights of states to chart their own courses outside of federal interference.

I’ve got chills

There was a tragic crime committed last Saturday near the junction of Jackson and Sixth Avenue. And you were probably a victim. There were several empty seats at Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s staging of Grease. Granted, there weren’t many, and those were likely sold, but the patrons opted to do something other

Streetcar rolls again
