Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew is reconfigured into the setting of "Padua High" (actually Tacoma’s Stadium High School, an amazing neo-gothic structure on Puget Sound that resembles a castle by the sea). Julia Stiles plays Kat, a Sylvia Plath-reading feminist who can’t...

Hal Ashby’s 1972 countercultural touchstone may now seem somewhat adrift, since that dominant, Nixon-era culture has disappeared. Suicidal Bud Cort falls for lively Ruth Gordon, each of them learning valuable life lessons along the course of their, ahem, romance. (They don’t...

When the little park designed by Murase Associates opened at the corner of Queen Anne and Roy, I was not impressed. The unloved, gravel-covered site had previously been scraped of its gas station (with pollution still beneath) and sat on a highly trafficked and confusing intersection (yes,...

The city isn't opening many new parks during these budget-crunched times. A noteworthy exception, however, is the freshly renovated and renamed Thomas C. Wales Park, though it isn't a cheerful place for kids to frolic on swings or splash in the wading pool. Instead, it's a memorial to the...

Alexei Ratmansky's new Don Quixote, based on Marius Petipa's 1869 choreography, debuted two years ago at the Dutch National Ballet. PNB director Peter Boal, who had been looking to add another program-length work to the repertory, flew to see the Amsterdam premiere, then promptly returned home...

Taken from a novel that Hitch himself wanted to adapt, Henri-Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear was the Euro smash of 1953. Set in an unidentified country that suggests Venezuela, the godforsaken pueblo of Las Piedras is an ugly, buzzard-ridden dump populated by beggars, urchins, and cynical...

The most popular viewpoint in the city is often a bore for kids. Whenever I walk up to Kerry Park, on the south prow of Queen Anne Hill, shutterbugs, wedding parties, and sightseers are intent on the panoramic view. Watch what the children do, however, when they squirm free of parental grasp or...

You won’t find any actor in the region more suited than Nick Garrison to inhabit Doug Wright’s 2004 Pulitzer- and Tony-winning I Am My Own Wife. The chameleonic Garrison is too often easily summed-up as a gender-bender, when he’s much better described as a performer with an...

Seattle Center is in upheaval. The Sonics have gone to Oklahoma, KeyArena is struggling to find new events to fill the revenue gap, Memorial Stadium is crumbling, the Fun Forest will soon close, and the ongoing Century 21 makeover plan is gonna take a whole lot of money to implement. But in...

The appeal of Lower Queen Anne is the idea of something for everyone. It doesn't matter if you're a barely legal frat brother or a 70-year-old karaoke nut, you're either going home with someone's digits, a beautiful stranger, or, at the very least, a good story. Karaoke enthusiasts flock every...

The Seattle Center Skatepark finally opened a year and a half after the old park (opposite the EMP) was demolished to make way for the Gates Foundation. The bulk of the $2.1 million budget came from the sale of the old land; and the state threw in $800,000 as well. At 10,000 square feet, the...

Maybe it shouldn't be surprising that many of the horror movie props in this basement exhibition space come from the personal collection of Paul Allen, who's both a huge movie buff and the EMP-SFM's founder and chief benefactor. Helping select the costumes, film clips, movie posters, and...

This cabaret-style homage to singer-actress-dancer Liliane Montevecchi, who celebrated her 79th birthday this fall, could be TZZ's sexiest production ever. And at the center of this three-and-a-half hour spectacle, which recounts her long, illustrious career (plus five-course feast), she may be...

If one were to guess which of the bars in Lower Queen Anne belonged to former Sonic superstar and notorious partier Shawn Kemp, the reasonable presumption would be Peso’s, or perhaps Ozzie’s. Surprisingly, it’s actually Oskar’s Kitchen, a charming Mediterranean-inspired...
