Friday, November 11 I An Evening with Reilly & Maloney – Perhaps the most endearing duo to grace the West Coast folk music scene, Ginny Reilly & David Maloney bring their timeless sound to West Seattle’s intimate Kenyon Hall.  Expect plenty of old favorites sprinkled throughout the evening – the pair celebrated their *40th* year singing together in 2010! – but also new selections from their recent work including David’s new solo album “One Day More.”

Friday, November 11 & Saturday, November 12 I Pirates of Penzance – STAGEright Theatre presents a show you thought you’d already seen: “The Pirates of Penzance.” This Gilbert and Sullivan classic is one of the most influential and well-known light operettas of all time and though more than 130 years old, it is still as charming and relevant as ever. Traditionally performed with dozens of singers, Director Brendan Mack’s staging features a cast of eleven playing every role in the show. This gender-bending production draws influence from Lady Gaga, “Glee,” Elvis Presley, Carol Burnett, “Grease,” Sesame Street, Ru Paul’s Drag Race, and many other cultural icons. This is a rendition of Pirates not to be missed!

 

BPT’s Featured Non-Profit: The Furry 5K in Seattle

Ever done a 5k walk or run? Well, if you haven’t, you’ve definitely heard of them. Usually, they’re to raise awareness and funds to cure cancer, diabetes or other types of illnesses and are geared towards humans and the difficulties we face.

But, what about our furry friends? Did you know that over 5 to 7 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide every year? Who is out there speaking up and raising awareness for them?

I’ll tell you who, The Furry 5k. The Furry 5k is an event where you can run, walk, sprint or jump with your best animal friend and this Sunday, June 12th at 10:00am in Seward Park, Seattle, WA., the Seattle Humane Society is putting together a 5k race to give a voice to the millions of animals in shelters and to raise money for the shelter.
