1. The exhibition Andy Warhol's Flowers for Tacoma at Tacoma Art Museum is a major event for Tacoma any way you look at it. We didn't get to see Andy Warhol turn the Tacoma Dome into a giant flower 30 years ago when he originally proposed it, but now we get to see his original proposal in the form of letters, drawings and paintings, plus more than 100 works of art by the Pop Art master - that is, if you get you butt over to the Tacoma Art Museum Today. The Warhol exhibition ends to day. Read Alec Clayton's full review of Andy Warhol's Flowers for Tacoma in the Visual Arts section at weeklyvolcano.com.
2. Two Tacoma stage productions end their runs today. Tacoma Musical Playhouse not only likes a good joke, with their production The Musical of Musicals, the Musical! by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart they ARE the joke. TMP's cast embraces the self-deprecating lyrics and dialogue and camps it up for the audience. It hits the stage for the last time at 2 p.m. Read Joann Varnell's full review of The Musical of Musicals, the Musical! in the Weekly Volcano's Arts section. Down Sixth Avenue, Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks at Tacoma Little Theatre - a very cute play - also ends its run at 2 p.m. Read Christian Carvajal's full review of Six Dance Lessons In Six Weeks in the Weekly Volcano's Arts Section.
3. Well folks, Valentine's Day is merely a few days away. If your romance can't wait, Seattle choir Pro Musica presents an afternoon of passionate choral music at 3 p.m. inside Parkland’s Trinity Lutheran, 12115 Park Ave. S, Tacoma. This pre-Valentine’s Day concert is called “Fire: Music of Passion,” and promises to live up to its name featuring love songs by Samuel Barber, madrigals by Morten Lauridsen and the world premiere of “Wild Nights!” - the setting of a more-than-suggestive Emily Dickinson poem – by Pro Musica’s Artistic Director and Conductor Karen Thomas.
4. Celebrate the one year anniversary of Mend My Dress Press with zine readings by Neelybat Chestnut of Mend My Dress fame, Osa Atoe from Shotgun Seamstress and Maranda Elizabeth from Telegram. Ire Adrift and Little Debbie will perform following the reading at 4 p.m. inside the all-ages venue Northern in downtown Olympia. A variety of merchandise will be available for purchase.
5. The Marine View Presbyterian Church in Northeast Tacoma presents another Jazz Live at Marine View show, this time welcoming violinist Geoffrey Castle for a 5 p.m. performance.
