Must See
Cherdonna Shinatra’s One-Woman Show
(10/17 to 10/26, 8 p.m.) Performer Jody Kuehner, the hilariously awkward, toweringly coiffed, alarmingly made-up half of the duo Cherdonna and Lou, is going it alone this time. In Worth My Salt, she pushes her beloved Cherdonna character beyond caricature, delving into questions of self-worth. Don’t worry, she’s still a font of gangly comedy, but one that’s tinted with existential angst.
Must Visit

(Through 4/30/2015, times vary) Known for her enormous installations that resemble sensory dreamscapes, Ohio-based Ann Hamilton will have has had her way with the Henry, crafting a stunning, building-wide installation called “A Common Sense.” It’s also a taste of things to come: The MacArthur “Genius” has been tapped to create large-scale art as part of the new Waterfront Seattle project.

Seattle’s Drag Brunch Has History
The city’s Sunday shows started long before the mimosas got bottomless.
There was a time not too long ago, when drag performances—now a mainstay of Seattle’s queer scene—were kept under wraps.
