Get in your Nominations for the Kirkland CACHET Award! _____________________________ UPCOMING EVENTS _____________________________
Campaign season may be over, but the laughs keep on coming. Piano-playing political satirist Mark Russell comes to KPC with material ripped from today’s headlines. Known for skewering Democrats and Republicans alike, Russell’s unique brand of comedy earned him the Mark Twain Award for political comedy and has made him a popular favorite on PBS. Long before Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, there was Mark Russell, daring to joke and sing of the often absurd political process. VIP TICKETS AVAILABLE! $75. Get the best seats in the house and enjoy an exclusive back stage meet and greet with Mark after the performance. VIP Seats available by calling 425.893.9900 _____________________________________ Early Music Fridays A concert of 17th and 18th century song featuring Cornish College Artist Diploma in Early Music students Julianna Emanski (soprano), Nicole Guberman (soprano), Chris Briden (viola da gamba), and Patrick Morgan (harpsichord) with special guest Cornish faculty member Stephen Stubbs (lute and guitar). _____________________________________
Solas is an Irish-American and Irish band that “is grounded in the fast-fingered jigs and reels of Irish tradition, and plays with unbridled vitality” (New York Times). Known for incorporating country sounds into their music, they’ll perform selections from their latest CD Shamrock City, inspired by the history of a mining community in Butte, Montana. _____________________________________
As the cliché goes, the packages have all been unwrapped and the trimmings put away, time to get on with the year. Well, the old saying is not quite correct because on Monday night January 28th Imagination Theatre and Kirkland Performance Center have one more present for you. That’s the evening of the first live recording session of 2013 and you won’t want to miss that. _____________________________________
Ian Rankin is a #1 international bestselling author, best known for his wildly popular Inspector Rebus series. On the 20th anniversary of Ian Rankin's first American publication comes a novel bursting with the vitality and suspense that made its author one of crime fiction's most dazzling stars. Standing in Another Man's Grave brings Inspector John Rebus out of retirement to revive a cold case. Sally Hazlitt was last seen ten years ago on a road where two other women have since gone missing. Rebus sees a connection where others do not. His old instincts come back and the hunt begins, leading Rebus to old enemies and new and the reader through a riveting tale of suspense, evil and redemption. Books will be available for purchase by University Bookstore. _____________________________________
When a Baker and his Wife learn they’ve been cursed with childlessness by the Witch next door, they embark on a quest for the special objects required to break the spell, swindling, lying to and stealing from Cinderella, Little Red, Rapunzel and Jack (the one who climbed the beanstalk). Everyone’s wish is granted at the end of Act One, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later, with disastrous results. What begins as a lively, irreverent fantasy in the style of The Princess Bride becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. _____________________________________
Pinocchio, a little wooden boy, yearns to be real so he can read, run, and make friends like other children do. But his new friends, the clever Cat and Fox, have other plans for this eager-to-please talking puppet. Can Pinocchio manage to outwit his devious friends, tell the truth, and learn from his mistakes? Or will he be forever stuck with knobby knees and a protruding proboscis? For ages 3-10 and Families (* Sunday February 10 performance ASL interpreted for the deaf) _____________________________________
KCS joins forces with one of our area’s finest community orchestras, Philharmonia Northwest, in a program of heavenly music for chorus and orchestra. Featured works are Antonin Dvorak’s festive Te Deum and Leonard Bernstein’s powerful Chichester Psalms, among other selections. This concert will take place in the beautiful Meany Hall on the University of Washington campus. _____________________________________ ONGOING _____________________________________
One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter. _____________________________________ Second Saturday Contra Dance _____________________________________ List your event!
