There's a giant intellect hammering away inside the slim form of Charles Smith. Angelic troubadour on display along with the other old world instruments merrily pinging small hammers, filling our entrance into the studio theater with a birdsong of lilting, sweet thrumming. Warming up, his delicate, precise hands nevertheless apparently sometimes hit the wrong keys...as his face will tell you.

In Tobias Wolff’s story “Bullet in the Brain,” a curmudgeonly book critic is shot at point blank range by a bank robber whose linguistic clichés the critic can’t help mocking.

Catherine Cabeen will be leading a My Favorite Things tour at SAM this Friday, March 18th, from 6:30-7:00. Catherine bills the tour as "highly opinionated" tour that looks at the intersectios between the visual and performing arts. It should be a great precursor to her show Into the Void at OtB this April.

Here's what Seattle critics are saying so far about Devotion:

Devotion is evident in the details of this abstract rendering of life itself. The stage is an installation of galvanized support pipes, lifting and framing in reverence several exquisite formal portraits (Sarah & Richard?), held on high and lit with a shipyard's worth of arc lights.

I just saw the 12 Minutes Max last night and after the great combination of good old country music, an incredibly touching and heartfelt monologue, stewed tomato madness, guys and girls dancing in little black dresses and a man talking to (and then beating up) his little stuffed piggie, I had a revelation: On the Boards is my artistic defibrillator.
