On a quest to answer the age-old question, “What do women want?” Robert Dubac morphs into five hysterical boneheads, each offering sidesplitting advice on bridging the gender gap—all while drinking a beer. The New York Times calls it “Hilarious … a one man tour de force!” It’s the funniest hour you’ll spend with one man.

Robert Dubac’s THE MALE INTELLECT: AN OXYMORON?

Women of the Pacific Northwest celebrates the voices, visions and material mastery of female artists working today, with roots from this rich and progressive region. Through the execution of disparate media from bronze, steel, glass, tin, plaster, mylar, printmaking, hair nets, cloth, rubber, wax to paint, these artists have achieved inventive, creative practices originating from critical, generative, inquisition of natural, social or subliminal forces. This exhibition highlights a group of female artists working in diverse media creating art that explores connections to place, whether sociological, environmental or spiritual, in a region supportive of equality, ecology and enterprise. These artists are among today’s pioneers, interpreting universality through personal observation and inventing poetic, transcendent works inspiring greater, pluralistic understanding, connecting us to one another and to the world around us.

Featured artists:

Victoria Adams, Drie Chapek, Jaq Chartier, Susan Dory, Betsy Ebys, Ann Gardner, Emily Gherard, Estuko Ichikawa, Lisa Jarrett, Brenda Mallory, Wendy Red Star, Katy Stone, Susan Zoccola, Marie Watt, and Julie Speidel.

A mansion. A murder. A mystery.
Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the fan-favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, Clue is the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE

MAY 1 – 23

A sparkling new spin on Jane Austen’s sharpest comedy. Kate Hamill’s adaptation turns the beloved classic upside down, bringing it to life with a thoroughly modern heartbeat.

Elizabeth Bennet is clever, quick-witted, and entirely uninterested in marriage, especially to the proud (and maddeningly charming) Mr. Darcy. But between gossip, glances, and a few scandalous swirls around the ballroom, even the steadiest hearts can lose their footing.

Brimming with humor and warmth, this Pride & Prejudice is a love story with impeccable manners and absolutely no chill. Proof that even the classics can still surprise you.

​Event Times: 2:00 PM & 7:30 PM

TICKETS STARTING AT: $50

Child Pricing Available (17 & under)

Fri & Sat, May 1 & 2 • 7 pm
