Boeing Boeing at The Modern Theater

It's the madcap 1960s, and self-styled swinging bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier: he has three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him with no knowledge of each other. He keeps 'one up, one down and one pending' until unexpected schedule changes bring all three to Paris and Bernard's apartment at the same time. In a hysterical whirlwind of mayhem timid Robert begins forgetting which lies he told to whom, and catastrophe looms.

Performances continue through May 31. Show times are Thursday, Friday & Saturday at 7:30; and Sunday at 2pm. Ticket prices are $19-$25. The Modern Theater is located at 174 S Howard St in downtown Spokane. Visit themoderntheatre.org.

Trackside Studio May Exhibit

Trackside Studio at 115 S. Adams, only has one more week for their May exhibit of new works from their wood, soda firing out at the Freuen studio in April. The firing was a special one as the kiln had a brand new chimney and a new cast arch form which produced richer reduction tones combined with some reduction cooling that led to soft mat surfaces instead of soda shiny. A short artist demo and talk will be presented today, May 20 at 7 pm. Free and open to the public. Trackside's gallery hours: Wednesday though Friday, 11 am to 3 pm.
