The Stranger

Great idea for Monday!

Later in the week, check out the Moisture Festival ...

"MOISTURE FESTIVAL** - March 17-April 10 - Hale's, ACT, Georgetown Ballroom & Vashon's O Space

It's 4 weeks of shows at 4 venues with a zillion combinations of wacky, sublime, eclectic performers from all over the world; a super-psyched, silly and overdressed volunteer staff; and a continual atmosphere of fun and unpredictability.

The home base is, as usual, Hale's Palladium in Fremont, which will host variety shows and a few benefit shows throughout the entire festival - shows are some Wedns nights, Thursday evenings, Fridays early and late; Saturdays have matinees, early and late night shows and Sundays have matinees and evenings. Variete' shows are also being hosted at the Georgetown Ballroom on April 1-3, at Vashon's O Space on April 7-8, and there are burlesque & variety shows at ACT's Allen theater (in the round) on March 25-27 & April 1-3.

Tickets are affordable, with discounts for kids, and shows vary from kid-oriented matinees, family evening shows, to whatever-goes late-night variety and burlesque shows. Shows do sell out, so look at the website, check out the act lists and performer bios for each show, and get tix in advance."
