Ripley’s Moving Theater
First, let me say that everyone should take the caution signs they have up seriously! It say for anyone who is pregnant, who has neck problems, motion sickness, or such not to participate.
I didn’t listen and I paid dearly for it! I have motion sickness problems but thought …
Nickle and Dimed by Joan Holden

Federal Building Bellingham Washington

Pirates of Penzance by Seattle G&S
I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …

Princess Ida by Gilbert and Sullivan
The Seattle Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s current production of “Princess Ida” meets their usual high standard. The cast is lively and clearly enjoys not only singing, but performing with one of the best Gilbert & Sullivan groups in the world. Performances by all of the players are excellent, but …

Les Miserables play
The most amazing play that I have seen on broadway two times is Les Miserables. In my opinion, this profound work of art, could even be appealing to people who do not tend to have a flare for seeing plays. Perhaps one of the biggest reasons that …
Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba in Downtown Disney, Orlando, Florida
This was my very first Cirque du Soleil show, and I’ve seen it a total of 3 times. It holds a special place in my heart because it was first, but it is also a wonderful introduction to the Cirque world. The combination of mystery and fantastic performances make …
