I think it'd be tough to argue Clybourne Park isn't one of the best-written scripts we've seen in years. It won the Pulitzer, the Tony, and the Society of London Theatre's Olivier Award. Playwright Bruce Norris does an exceptional job of allowing characters to talk themselves into conflicts far deeper
Military Life
It's one thing to hear about what happens during war or read about it the newspaper. It's another thing entirely to witness firsthand what the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces endure while serving downrange. For those not in the military, the opportunity to know what really happens

The Lakewood and Tacoma Historical Societies are joining forces to commemorate the World War I centennial and the fascinating role citizens of Pierce County played in establishing Camp Lewis in 1917. "Every year we put on the Destiny Dinner, which is one of our largest events," explained Bill Baarsma, president of

Not quite, since all three shops will have totally different outlooks: Super Supplements, set to open Sept. 1 in the space next to the recently opened Tight Cuts on Sixth and Pearl in Tacoma, will offer all manner of healthy goodies — vitamins, minerals, organic beauty aids. Willow, a new

The trend got its start in 1997, when singer-songwriters Elizabeth Hummel and Cindy Lee Berryhill embarked

Zeahorse is a band that does not stumble blood-crusted out of the outback. They're from Sydney which, one imagines, could not be without at least a couple air-conditioned fast food restaurants. The prospect of losing one's mind in the wasteland of the desert would likely be far from the minds

Krautrock is a genre defined by both rigid control and psychedelic improvisation, as is to be expected by a German subgenre developed in the '70s. Can, famously, would jam for a long time before paring down the track to a slim eight-to-10 minutes, or so. Other bands cherished mechanical instrumentation,
