Shake Shack x Canlis Backlot Pop-Up
(6/23) Before Shake Shack officially opens its doors in South Lake Union this fall, its ShackBurger and crinkle-cut fries will make an appearance at…Canlis, naturally. The fine-dining restaurant and the east coast burger chain will unite during this one-day pop-up to give us a taste of its cult fast food.

MUST SEE

The Picture of Dorian Gray
(through 7/1) Although known as an apostle of “art for art’s sake,” Oscar Wilde pointedly explored the link between art and morality in his 1890 novel, here getting the Book-It stage treatment. The title character, whose sociopathy is reflected not in his person but in his creepily changing portrait, remains one of Victorian lit’s most haunting personae. Times and prices vary. Book-It Repertory Theater, Seattle Center, 305 Harrison St.; 206.216.0833; book-it.org
