Once again, Tacoma Little Theatre has taken advantage of their revolving, magical time shifting turn-table for quick transitioning from scene to scene. From Clue to Murder on the Orient Express, now the turn-table easily takes us on short time saving trips around the Parker home. The only thing missing from the original Christmas Story was […]

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat – A Review
Tacoma Musical Playhouse’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is fantastic. We knew it was going to be fun when Lucy, the woman sitting next to Peg in the audience, showed the photo of her granddaughter, Le’liana in the Youth Chorus and was so excited to be at the production. Luci also saw Kinky Boots […]
Cinderella Panto – CenterStage Review with lots of laughs
The Center Stage Pantos are legendary. We took our granddaughters to them and we all laughed and had a great time commenting, singing along and defying the bad guys to do anything to the young heroes. We hissed the villains, and hurrayed the heroes. Things have changed and now it seems there are fewer children […]

Scrooge Goes on in Olympia
“Jacob Quimby Marley was a proper, tight, dry, pruny old thing. His face was frozen in sour disapproval, as if he had bitten into a lemon by mistake and hadn’t liked it much.” – Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol – http://www.showtix4u.com/event-details/68352 Peggy and I are extremely disappointed that we will miss the production of A Christmas Carol […]
Proctor Shoe Repair – A Small Business with a Critical Mission
I have bad feet. I don’t mean they need spanking but that they make it difficult to find shoes that fit and are comfortable. My primary problem is that I have hammertoes on both feet – big toes that go under or over the other toes. My last two podiatrists have told me that there’s […]

She came home one Friday and announced we were going to visit a friend’s house on Saturday morning and look at their litter of puppies. The friend was a fellow […]
Chicken Fried Steak – Pine Cone Café Review
In February of 2020 I stopped in and had breakfast at the Pine Cone Café in University Place. The food was excellent and I had the best Chicken Fried Steak I’ve ever had. Little did I know that they would soon be closing. I was heart broken when they did close their doors. I thought […]
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story ‒ Review of an Oddly Funny Movie
This was a Roku masterpiece presentation. The real Weird Al Yankovic has no worries about overshadowing great actor Mark Rylance, but I really doubt Mark plays the accordion anywhere near to the perfection of Weird Al. I’m also willing to bet that Weird Al Yankovic has no dreams of acting stardom like Daniel Radcliffe, who […]
