The Addams Family Musical is a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and a dilemma that’s every father’s nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family – a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before – keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

Tickets are $12 for Kids 12 and under; $17 for Military/Seniors/Students; and $20 for Adults. Tickets may be purchased at the door or reserved online: www.spokanechildrenstheatre.org/addams

It's our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether)world of pandemonium.

With music and lyrics by Tony Award-nominee Eddie Perfect and a book by Tony Award-nominated pair Anthony King and Scott Brown, Beetlejuice was nominated for eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best New Musical. A viral "sucks-yes" on social media, this musical struck a chord with young theatre lovers who adored its unabashed humor and emotional honesty.

Created for the generation that made it a hit, Beetlejuice JR. is a wacky theatrical party for all!

Museum and gallery directors, nonprofit arts organization founders, art teachers, and other local arts advocates have made a life of showcasing the art of others, while their own work is rarely seen. This exhibition challenges its participants to make new work, providing space to honor the creative talents that led them to these careers. It also highlights the breadth of our regional arts ecosystem, offering a chance to meet and connect with the stewards of our growing arts community. Prepare to experience a range of works in clay, mixed media sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography and more.

Fleetwood Mask is the only tribute in the Americas endorsed by Fleetwood Mac founding member Mick Fleetwood. “This band does it right. I’m proud to know the music of Fleetwood Mac is in good hands indeed,” says Mick in one of his video endorsements of the group. Fleetwood Mask was founded over a decade ago to tribute one of the world’s greatest rock and pop bands and has been touring the U.S. every year since. Fans of all generations escape for an evening of Fleetwood Mask live in concert because they yearn for the ultimate in visual realism, character-accurate musicianship, stage performance, and sound quality.

Fleetwood Mask is a fanatically focused tribute and has gone to unimaginable lengths to ensure each performer uses the correct, exact period-accurate equipment and bespoke period-accurate stage wear to deliver audiences the most authentic tribute to Fleetwood Mac in the world. At many Fleetwood Mask shows, the band uses original touring equipment and original instruments owned and used by Fleetwood Mac in concert. No stone is left unturned. The band’s penguin logo was designed by Larry Vigon, the album cover designer for Fleetwood Mac’s White Album, Rumours, Tusk, Fleetwood Mac Live, Mirage, and 25 Years The Chain; solo album covers for Christine McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and Lindsey Buckingham; and album covers for countless other world-famous solo artists and groups.

Fleetwood Mask concerts contain the hits, fan favorites, and deep cuts to satisfy even the most discerning of Fleetwood Mac aficionados. Attendees may also experience various show productions as Fleetwood Mask presents specific tributes to Fleetwood Mac’s 1980 Tusk tour, the 1982 Mirage tour, and the 1997 Dance reunion tour as part of their live concert packages.

Please join us for a benefit concert as pianist Michael Brady performs the complete final three piano sonatas of Franz Schubert in full, in one immersive program. Written at the end of Schubert's life at age 31, these works combine lyric beauty with profound emotional depth.

Michael has described these sonatas as "ultimately life-affirming, as though Schubert is reminding us once again that it's not about the destination, it's all about the journey and the joys and camaraderie along the way." For Mr. Brady, performing these works has become an outlet for a deep grief rooted in the HIV epidemic—a grief that had gone quiet over the years, only to resurface during the COVID-19 crisis.

This event is presented in partnership with Methow At Home, Methow Pride, and the Give Methow Campaign, with all proceeds benefiting Methow At Home and the Give Methow “Give to All” Campaign.
