4. Deep Green Resistance is doing a speaking tour of the west coast to promote the upcoming Unis'tot'en Action Camp in British Columbia. The Unis'tot'en and Wetsu'wet'in First Nations have blockaded the pathway of a proposed pipeline (actually 5 pipelines collectively called The Northern Gateway) from the Tar Sands out to the BC coast, and have asked for activists to attend an action camp in early August to support the blockade.Speakers will include the Dakota scholar and activist Waziyatawin. Please bring DONATIONS: tents, rope, white gas fuel, climbing gear, tarps, dried/canned food, coffee, money, and anything else useful in a backcountry camp. 5 p.m., Last Word Books, 211 4th Ave, Olympia.

5. In Denmark, a king is dead. His brother, Claudius, has snatched the throne and the widowed queen. Life goes on—for everyone but Hamlet. The prince, fixated on his uncle as the murderer, is charged by his father's ghost to avenge the wrong. Disconnected from the foul world around him, Hamlet strains under the weight of his task. Animal Fire's first production of Shakespeare's disturbing and psychologically rich masterpiece digs into the enigma of a man's mind. 7 p.m., free, Priest Point Park, 2600 East Bay Drive NE, Olympia.
