Well folks, in case you haven't been noticing, the weather is a changing! This past week has been amazing and so will the next several (we hope). So why not stop by for a drink or two and listen to some great live music.
Or if you feel like playing some music yourself, come down Sunday or Thursday night for our ever-expanding Open Mic nights. And don't forget to stop by for BeatWalk.

It's almost Whatchamadoozie Time!On June 5, 2009, the the new children's musical It's a Whatchamadoozie with a Whaddayacallit with a Thingamajigit on Top! will be coming to the Rainier Valley. The musical is set in Tremble Town where everyone is paralyzed by fear. When a suspicious glow is spotted in the sky and and ominous musical note permeates the air, the Mayor orders all of the children inside for the summer. It takes Lucy Margaret and her plucky pals Cecil and Gracie who save the day by transforming fear into wonder and fiction into fact!
The Anything is Possible Theatre is dedicated to bringing dynamic, professional and affordable children's theatre to the south end of Seattle. |
