The Must List: Atomic Bombshells, Sound of Music & More
What to do this weekend in Seattle
Must Ooh and Ahh
Atomic Bombshells Burlesque Show at The Triple Door
(11/21 to 11/25, times vary) The Jetsons meets Gypsy Rose Lee in Lost in Space, the latest burlesque show by Seattle’s bodacious Atomic Bombshells, featuring BenDeLaCreme, Kitten La Rue, Lou Henry Hoover and Waxie Moon.
Must Do-Re-Mi
The 5th Avenue Theatre Presents The Sound of Music
(11/24 to 1/3/2016, times vary) On the 50th anniversary of the release of its beloved cinematic adaptation, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most popular Broadway musical comes to Seattle for the holidays. Watch again as Maria is embraced by the von Trapps and ultimately restores their sense of family.
Must Gobble
Green Lake Gobble and Mashed Potato Munch Off
Sunday (11/22, 8 a.m.) Run, walk or gobble through Green Lake Park and participate in a 10K or 5K walk/run. Rather eat than run? The Mashed Potato Munch Off competition could be for you. Finish up at the beer garden.
Must See
(Re)Presenting Native Americans Exhibit Opens
(Opens 11/21, times vary) The Tacoma Art Museum’s Haub wing houses a newly acquired collection of paintings depicting the American West. Many of the works portray an imagined, culturally inaccurate version of the region, so TAM took the somewhat radical step of including personal responses from contemporary Native Americans next to the standard plaques. TAM continues this important, if tense, discussion with the new exhibit (Re)Presenting Native Americans, featuring paintings of Native Americans from the 1800s onward.
Must Hear
Seattle Symphony Presents Mahler’s Symphony No. 10
(11/19, 11/21 and 11/22, times vary) For the first time on the Seattle Symphony stage, Principal Guest Conductor Thomas Dausgaard conducts Mahler’s Symphony No. 10, a rip-roaringly emotional and ecstatic piece.
This piece was edited on December 3. Principal guest conductor Thomas Dausgaard conducted Mahler’s Symphony No. 10.

COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…
WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
