Dancing with Your Stars @ Bishop Center for Performing Arts

Dancing with Your Stars @ Bishop Center for Performing Arts | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

Watch the fancy footwork of Grays Harbor local YMCA fitness director Lisa Kless, Harbor Bottling president Tim Martin, urologist-surgeon Dr. Steve Reznicek, former State Rep. Lynn Kessler, Grays Harbor Community Hospital Foundation chair Natasha Martens, and Quigg Brothers project manager Charlie Quigg at Dancing with Your Stars.

Dancing with Your Stars returns to the Bishop Center, this time sponsored by the Grays Harbor College Foundation as a fundraiser for World Class Scholars.  As for last year’s show, the new cast of dazzling dancers from the Harbor will train with professional dancers the week prior to the Saturday evening benefit show.

All proceeds from this benefit show will go the World Class Scholars program.  Last year’s Dancing With Your Stars sold out early, and tickets for this show, since it directly benefits the future education of our youth, will go quickly too!

 

The Glass Menagerie @ Driftwood Theater
Apr 26 @ 7:30 pm

The Driftwood Players will enact “The Glass Menagerie,” written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Debbie Scoones. The drama is in two acts and is appropriate for all ages.

The mother is a faded tragic remnant of Southern gentility, striving to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her grown children.  Her methods are ineffective and irritating, causing problems in the household.  The world of illusion that she has striven to create in order to make life bearable collapses about them after a gentleman caller pays a visit.

Valu-Drug in Montesano
