"Complete Shakespeare, Abridged (Revised)" - sublimely silly, but satisfying

Many theater companies search for the perfect formula to fill their seats and ensure a successful season. Often this leads to the overproduction of a few staple scripts. Thankfully, Tacoma Little Theatre's Second Stage goes a different route. If they were using a formula, this is what it would be:

THE ROCKFORD FILES: Review of the Visiting Nurses and LAKE show at Northern

Had I known what I was going to witness Sunday night at The Northern, I would have gone to much greater lengths to combat the obstacles that nearly cost me my attendance. A last minute decision to bring a friend with me to the Olympia all-ages venue found me sitting

Saturday, March 2: Boats

Kill Rock Stars artists Boats hail from Canada (Winnipeg, to be exact), home of all things bright, bubbly and indie pop these days, and Boats are no exception.
