The fine, fine theater artists at On The Boards are wrapping up their season, (or, is this the start of their new season?), with their annual Northwest New Works Festival which starts this Friday, June 4 and runs this entire weekend, and continues NEXT weekend, June 11-13. There’s something for EVERYONE in this festival: theater, music, dance, (well, there’s no ‘rasslin’ that I’m aware of, but you can’t make everyone happy…)Here’s the line-up for the festival:

It’s like a big candy box of goodies for alternative theater lovers…just don’t sample any of the treats and put them back in the box. It’s not considered “safe”…I wish I could see ALL of this festival, but I had to limit myself to one showcase…we’ll talk about it, after I experience it.
