Through May 22: "A Few Good Men"

When actors who've never quite dazzled suddenly blow you away, it's a hint you're in for something special. And when actors with very little stage experience grip your attention, it's a credit to impeccable directing. A few blocking quibbles aside, what Patrick and his sizable ensemble accomplish here is overwhelming.

Military photographers in focus

Photography - the writing with light - comes down to vision. It is the ability to see a final result in your mind's eye, and then to make it so with a camera. Local military have been doing that for years through membership in the Tacoma Photographic Society. "There is a quiet

Through May 29: "Hello, Dolly!"

Hello, Dolly! at Tacoma Musical Playhouse is visually impressive, and Director/Choreographer Jon Douglas Rake got some amazing dance moves out of his cast. The play, by Michael Stewart with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, is based on the Thornton Wilder play The Matchmaker. Many people are familiar with the

WHAT'S THE WORD?: Second Family

Tacoma is inundated with street-hop. Lots of MC's put out music, from the Hill to the Eastside to the Southside to the Sway - and everywhere in between. There's so much reality-rap in this city that it can be hard for the consumer or fan to pick out the

Crib death

"Medical authorities in Cumberland have concluded that in all cases, the killers are eating the flesh of the people they kill. And so this incredible story becomes more ghastly with each report." -Night of the Living Dead Snippets of dialogue from George Romero's seminal 1968 film Night of the Living Dead act

The "Fame" monster

When Capital Playhouse "parted ways" with its spiritual leader last year, they also bagged Kiss of the Spider Woman in favor of Fame. I reported that it was a good idea, and from a commercial standpoint, it still is. Nothing I say here will change that. Also, if you're related

QUESTION: Women always insist they're looking for a "nice guy," but they waste no time running past one to get to a jerk/bad boy. It really seems they're drawn to guys who treat them badly. My most egotistical friends score with women like crazy, and I'm a nice guy who's

While driving past Childhood's End Gallery too quickly to get a good look through the window, I spotted some house-shaped boxes on the wall that were very colorful. My first thought was, "OK, birdhouses - cute and kind of trite, but at least they're brightly colored." First impressions of art are

Sometimes I'm just in the mood for sex, and the Matador seems to know how to do me up right. It's got hard wood, dark ambience, and it will wine me and dine me and feed me tequila until I say "take me home." It has everything a swinging bachelor
