The musical parodies of political and current events performed by the Capitol Fools will be coming to First Interstate Center for the Arts in Spokane on Friday, October 10.

The Capitol Fools hold up a mirror to our crazy political and social culture, providing hilarious song parodies and foolish reflections that inspire belly-laughter. Audiences will see former members of the Capitol Steps performing all the beloved bits, the mind-boggling backward talking spoonerisms, break-neck costume changes, over-the-top impressions, and all-new song parodies reflecting the day’s news.

Get ready for a night of mystery, our parody loosely based on the classic movie Clue, with different characters and new plots created on the spot every show! Anyone can be the murderer, and you, the audience, get to decide. Will you uncover the truth, or will you be left with…no clue?

The Blue Door Theatre perfroms No Clue every Friday in October at 7:30, Tickets $9, for mature audiences.

Directed by Terri Caldwell, "Attack of the Lake People" features an eccentric rural slice of life full of oddball characters, funny lines and a few unexpected twists. A family reunion turns into a real upside-down adventure, where everybody is a suspect when someone unexpectedly dies.

Menus are provided by Mi Pueblo (Oct.10, Beef Enchiladas; Oct. 11, Chicken Enchiladas), Country Snack Shack (Oct. 17, Roasted Pork Loin), HooRay's Catering (Oct. 18, Beef Pot Pie; Oct. 24, Baked Chicken Thighs), and Owen's Catering (Oct. 25, Country Fried Steak).

Join us for an exciting evening of unique music by Native American Composers! Several of Whitworth University's talented faculty members will be performing solo and ensemble pieces for a wide array of instruments and genres. We will be presenting music of Navajo, Mohawk, Cherokee, Maliseet, Comanche, and Seminole composers, both past and present. Learn about different tribal histories, myths, and legends, and encounter an immersive multimedia experience. Come celebrate these historically underrepresented voices in a kaleidoscope of sounds celebrating Indigenous culture and heritage.

Jazz night and jam session with a rotating cast of local and regional professionals from 7pm-10pm every second Monday of the month. Hosted by Imagine Jazz with Rachel Bade-McMurphy and Brendan McMurphy, a live performance is followed by a community jam session. Cover charge applies.

Prokofiev Violin Concerto #1 in D Major, Op. 19
Sarasate Carmen Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 25

Man of La Mancha is one of the world’s most popular musicals. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial during the Spanish Inquisition. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of the elderly Alonso Quijana, who renames himself “Don Quixote” and goes on a quest to right all wrongs in the world. The rousing, Spanish-inflected score includes the classic numbers “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”
