Must See
Millennial Life Explored in The Flick
(Through 4/4, times vary) Along with the customary humiliations of a first job come first adult friendships, first time figuring out how to pay rent and first glimmers of what the future might bring. Three millennials experience such firsts together—while cleaning up popcorn at a struggling movie theater in The Flick, a 2014 Pulitzer Prize winner by Annie Baker (Circle Mirror Transformation), staged by New Century Theatre Company in its new home.

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.

From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community

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.
