Fife History Museum features World War II exhibit

Centrally located in the South Puget Sound, the city of Fife is today a hub of business, retail and industry, boasts an award-winning school district and features great parks and community activities year round. However, the Fife of the past was a small farming community. And like many other communities of

Fun with sushi

Someone mentioned Trapper's Sushi at a recent Volcano staff meeting, whereupon Rev. Adam McKinney opined that its sports-bar elements make it seem like the kind of place he'd be more apt to like when inebriated. We resolved to test this theory by sampling it in two states of consciousness: I'd

Visual Edge: Landscape and Transformation

Kristin Giordano's photographs of Doha, Qatar at Kittredge Gallery on campus at University of Puget Sound are haunting, lonely and disturbingly beautiful. Paul Landacre's wood engravings in the smaller back gallery represent a fine sampling of works by a little known but leading engraver of the early 20th century. Together

Olympia's 2013-2014 theater season

With no further ado, let's divulge Olympia's promising menu. First, some sad news: as you may have heard, Capital Playhouse cancelled its mainstage offerings for the year. Between unmanageable debts and a trio of scandals, it tempted fate for CP to schedule anything called The Last 5 Years. The company hopes

Tacoma's 2013-2014 theater season

This is an exciting month for theater folk, meaning practitioners and patrons. As one troupe after another announces its upcoming schedule, we look forward to the return of talented veterans and the rise of hot, new blood. From beloved old "war horses" to the cutting edge of 21st-century playwriting, it

2013 South Sound Fall Arts Preview

As I look out my office window, I'm charmed by the rustling trajectories of fallen leaves, cooled by scudding gusts of wind that promise autumn rain - oh, wait! No, I'm not! It's 80 degrees outside! We start writing the Fall Arts Guide in August! Such is the life of

[ELECTRO-POP] + FRI, SEPT. 13 The line between mainstream music and indie music has grown so thin that it's often hard to differentiate between the two. Recently, returning popularity of cheesy mainstream music from the '80s and the '90s have enveloped themselves in the output of indie artists, creating a kind

Richard Album and the Lifestyles are totally real

As long as there have been lonesome losers (and, honestly, long before), there has been power pop. From Weezer, back to Matthew Sweet, even further back to Joe Jackson, and then to Big Star, there has been an element in pop music that tended toward the gawky and unique building

Here comes the Olympia Outdoor Public Spectacle

The Olympia Independent Music Festival (OIMF) has put on one hell of a shindig the past few years, creating a free block party with all the usual perks of Olympia - killer bands, ladies of burlesque, art, vendors, chin-balancing - all in the name of helping the Olympia Film Society. Saturday,

Checking in with The Social Bar and Grill

With the revolving door of establishments opening and closing throughout the South Sound, it could be said that The Social Bar and Grill hit a big milestone with the celebration of its second anniversary last month. And in true birthday style, the Social entertained the masses with live music provided by

The Grand Suggests: "In a World ..."

Over the last few months, I've reviewed films about homicidal anarchists, arranged marriages, cancer survivors, suicide bombers, Somali pirates, bourgeois paintings and harrowing life-or-death expeditions across the Pacific Ocean. Every once in a while, it's nice to take a break from all of that and review something SERIOUS! In the hallowed

Neil Simon meets the Summer of Love

It's my opinion that theater companies in the South Sound, as in most American markets, are not in competition with each other; rather, they're competing with television. TV has become really good these last few years, as fans of Breaking Bad or Modern Family can attest. There's an entire channel
