As the (worldly and un-) personalities clash, Charles’ current wife Ruth is accidentally killed, “passes over,” joins Elvira, and the two “blithe spirits” haunt the hapless Charles into perpetuity.

Hedgebrook brings another amazing woman writer to the island, where we bring scenes from her book to life with local actors, as we enjoy the intimate setting and amazing conversation. Set in the glamorous, seductive Hollywood of the 40’s—the world of film studios and flimsy negligees— City of Angels is a homage to the film noir genre of motion pictures, but also filled with sidesplitting comedy. The musical weaves together two plots, the “real” world of a writer trying to turn his book into a screenplay, and the “reel” world of the fictional film. The real-life scenes are in color and the movie scenes are in black and white. The show result is that best-of-all Hollywood conventions—a happy ending.

Rural Characters MAY 3 / 7:30 PM / $15 MAY 16 & 17 / 7:30 PM / $25 Four fellas from Clinton started playing music together in 1997: Gordy Adams, Tom Fisher, Randy Hudson and Tom Walker. These guys not only put on a good show, they’re funny and have really big hearts. Ticket early; shows sell out. Whidbey Surface Design Group Art Show and Sale Surface Design is the creative exploration of fiber and fabric. The one-ofa-kind artwork blends collage, weaving, felting, beading, basketry, handdyed fabric, and contemporary quilting in cutting-edge combinations. But did you know that this concert raises the funds to subsidize the entire Local Artist Series? It’s true! With the proceeds of these two concerts WICA is able to support and promote four local artistic groups, allowing the artists to keep all the money made from ticket sales. So sit back, enjoy the show and pat yourself on the back for showing true community collaboration in helping to support our local artists. After last year’s successful show, our local Group returns to WICA to wow us with the art, time, and passion that goes into each piece. A “not to be missed” show.

The stark visual eloquence of a simple revival of Our Town informs Thornton Wilder’s portrait of the ordinary joys and sorrows of fictional Grover’s Corners. Director Tim Rarick hopes to reimagine the Gibbses and Webbs, reminding us that Our Town is about humankind, and not any one kind of human. Register for a summer you won’t forget!
