How have I lived in Bellingham for over 10 years and never once visited this little place?? Oh my…read moregosh. My gal pal took me here. I thought, 8 bucks for a ticket, no loss if the comedy isn't good. WELP. It was really good! We came on a Thursday night. The first half of the evening was improv put on by people who have been taking improv classes. They were so talented already and I laughed a lot. Then for the second half, people who are much more immersed in improv do a show. We were lucky enough to have the one and only Ryan Stiles join the group of the second half. What a treat. Once again there was a lot of laughter. They also have shows on the weekends! And they sell popcorn, candy, beer, cider, and pop for realistic prices, quite unlike the movie theater. They have shows on the weekends as well and you can buy tickets online. I highly recommend it!!

This one just felt amateur, and not in a good way. There were also no concessions (not even water!), which made for a long, parched evening. The improv "games" they were playing were anything from hard-to-follow to completely over my head. And yes, I've been to a lot of improv. I know improv can be hit and miss, but this was just a big, disappointing miss.

They are too soft and tend to sink (as if folding up) if one sits too far back. However, I am very disappointed that they are still using single-use plastic cups for those refreshments - two small cookies or a few pretzels per cup. This is such an assault on the environment, especially when there are alternatives available. Some forward-thinking restaurants are now using paper cups so I know there are options - even paper cupcake liners would work. I have mentioned this several times to staff and have been told they will "bring it up", but still no change. So disappointing! I encourage everyone to advocate for our Mother Earth... We are killing her.

Even the cosmos, where his constellation is fading from view. He is attended by figures of the court representing love, science, loyal companionship, even a representative of those whose drudgery keeps the whole place working and after all, one with the good sense to help him let go of his crumbling control and go on into death with acceptance, That is just one reading of the play, but all the actors are so good and the production so tight that one forgets how ridiculous is this whole kingdom and feels for the pathetic king and his attendants. There will be more performances this weekend and next. See it if you can P. Bamford

An acquaintance recommended that we attend a show and, at only $15/ticket, I decided that it was worth a look see. I really appreciate the different textures in the lobby. Very interesting to look at. The artwork hanging is quite nice. Super friendly staff as you enter the lobby. They keep record of your ticket purchase and provide a program. Super easy. No stress in attempting to locate your ticket. A bar with beverages available for purchase is located in the lobby. The theater itself is big enough and small enough for comfort. I don't think it's possible to get a bad seat. It was cool to see a local live production. iDiOM is conveniently located just steps away from Bellingham Cider Co within the same building.

This entertainment will cost you a recommended $5+ donation. Part way through, there's a short auction of items provided by sponsors to raise additional money.

I first saw the Guild in action at Aslan Brewing's first anniversary party, where they set up a giant (and I mean GIANT) trapeze-like apparatus right inside the brewery! When the performance started, we were treated to breathtaking feats of acrobatic beauty. It was magical. The Guild is also known for Vaudevillingham, a monthly event featuring even more fun for local audiences. If you're interested in becoming your own juggler, clown, or other type of circus performer they even have classes! The BCG is one of those organizations that makes our eclectic, fabulous little city the unique gem that it is.

He told me about BAAY and the girls joined in time to each do their own show of "The Little Mermaid." After I saw what it did for their self esteem (especially bringing the younger one out of her shell) I was crying at the end of the final performance. I couldn't thank him enough for all he did for the children. David truly believes in enriching the lives of our youth with arts, dance, song, and community. At BAAY it is not about being the next famous actor, it is about being an expressive and supportive human being in the world. The girls are now always involved in some activity at BAAY.org, whether it is a summer camp, or an after school production group. If you would like to support your child's development, social skills, growth, and yes even improve their acting/dancing/singing, then this is the place to enroll. Look forward to meeting you there.
