His performance was deplorable with a repeat of a performance from years ago. Get some new material. Obviously supportive and endorses D Trump's misogynist, despicable, lying behavior. How can a reputable arts center support such an act. Disrespectful of its patrons and supporters. Please review and scrutinize future acts, performers in the future. This particular act doesn't even deserve a star, it's a 5xs minus!

My friend moved to the area and we are into theater so we decided to check this out. It's hidden on…read morethe upper level of an old strip mall in a place you would not think to look. Even when you are right in front of it, you worry that you might be at the wrong door. There's plenty of parking and some stairs to the theater on both sides of the complex (I believe there is handicapped access in the back). We saved some money by getting our tickets on groupon via goldstar. Picking up tickets a few minutes before the show at the will call desk was pretty easy. Its also good to know there are beverages available should you desire something to drink. This theater is pretty small, making all seats good seats. We were able to see the stage easily, although like most older theaters seating is a bit cramped. It was also a bit warm in the theater. We saw The female of the species which was an enjoyable comedy about a subject matter that appeals to me. I appreciated the sign in the lobby alerting me that there were gun shots to be expected during the performance. It was also helpful of them to discuss how to become season ticket holders prior to the show, prices are very reasonable and even cheaper for seniors. We definitely thought this made for a nice evening out and plan to check out some of the other upcoming shows.

Growing up, my grandmother lived in Edmonds and really enjoyed the Edmonds Driftwood Players…read moreTheater, so we would come with her to various plays. It was a more formal occasion so we got to wear our nice clothes. We would arrive fairly early to avoid the crowd that could form as the play start time neared. The plays we saw here were varied in content, though tended to be musicals. I typically got headaches when I saw plays growing up, and the acoustics hear were better than average. It depended on the play and type of music sung whether I got a headache. During intermission we would make a dash for the restrooms, which could have a long line, however us and other theater goers tended to be quick to keep the line moving. We would also go on the hunt for a small cookie or two that might have been put out.

I am happy the be the first to review this wonderful little theatre. I have now been here twice to…read moresee plays and have been impressed with both productions. They are just celebrating their 10th year and are a nice community theatre tucked ever so slightly between I-5 and the ferry line. Restrooms are stage left and stage right and the theatre is easy to access once you make it upstairs to the business entrance in the middle of the second story of the building. If you enter on the left you will be at the bottom of the seats and directly in front of the stage on flat ground. If you go up the stairs on the right you will find yourself at the top row of the seats, furthest from the stage. Refreshments and snacks are available during intermission and the lobby is a warm and inviting space. Looking forward to my next play here already!

Decent size venue with good acoustics…read more Sarah and I saw Aida here and the venue was pretty good all things considered. The acoustics was decent at the dress circle level but I'm not sure how it is at the balcony level. They also have a camera pointed at the conductor so you can see him passionately conducting the event on a TV screen attached to the balcony railing! Everyone working at the venue are super nice and there is a small cafeteria that sells snacks, coffee, wine and beer. There is venue parking and plenty of street parking so that's one thing not to worry about! We had a good time here and the play was nice for the price we paid for the tickets! Will definitely come back for more shows in the summer!

The Kennelly Keys Music on 196th Street Southwest in Lynnwood was our second go-to Kennelly Keys…read morewhen I was growing up. We were required in elementary school to take part in the school band or orchestra for 5th grade with 6th grade optional (I took part both full academic years: 2002 to 2004), so with an older sibling and me, my parents were looking for reliable music stores. There was a Kennelly Keys close to the house, as well as this Kennelly Keys, that we habitually frequented. This was our destination for questions needing further answering and products not available closer to the house. Workers were friendly and the store well organized. When choosing my musical instrument for band, I decided I wanted to play the alto saxophone. My parents were okay with my choice so long as it was not as pricey as my sister's cello. On one of our visits to this location, the store was having a big sale on used instruments and they had a working alto saxophone available for a good deal. So, I got my first alto saxophone that day. I used it for both years and held on to it for a while before eventually parting with it. It worked well and served its purpose reliably.
