Harlequin Productions Presents The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare
October 7 to 30, Thursday through Saturday 8 pm, Sunday 2 pm
Yippy-ti-yi-yo! Welcome to Tombstone, Arizona, circa 1880. Everyone wants to marry the beautiful Bianca, but her Father won’t consider any of her suitors until he’s successfully married off her cantankerous older sister, Kate. Along comes Petruchio, strummin’ his way from St. Louie, seeking his fortune… and a rich wife. Bianca’s desperate suitors hire Petruchio to woo and tame “Kate the curst,” and the battle of wills is on. But human will–of either the male or female variety–is no match for the boy Cupid. A classic love story of rootin’-tootin’ proportions… with original old-timey cowboy songs!

Special Film Screening
Ghost Bird with Filmmaker Q & A
October 12, 6:30 pm
“Director Scott Crocker has turned a bird-watching tale, Ghost Bird, into a multilayered story that will fascinate everybody. Ghost Bird, is a witty, wistful documentary about the supposed rediscovery in Arkansas of the ivory-billed woodpecker, a bird thought to have been extinct for decades. The film focuses on Brinkley, Arkansas, a tiny town in the eastern part of the state that went woodpecker crazy after one of the birds was or wasn’t seen there in 2004. An inconclusive bit of video helped start the mania, and the scruffy town did its best to capitalize, with a woodpecker gift shop, a woodpecker hamburger and so on; a barber shop even offered a woodpecker haircut. Mr. Crocker, showing a terrific sense of pacing, lets the excitement that enveloped the town sink in just long enough, then turns to the subsequent debate over whether the video actually showed an ivory-bill. By the time he’s done, you may convinced that there was no miraculous resurrection, and you also know why that is important: the continuing search for proof that the bird is back has siphoned money from efforts to save species that are definitely still with us and endangered. But there’s nothing dry about the debates between experts as presented by Mr. Crocker: he throws in goofy cameos by Woody Woodpecker and Donald H. Rumsfeld. But in the films lighter segments he’s never laughing at the people of Brinkley. He’s more interested in letting their unpretentious good humor shine through. One area resident, shown while getting a haircut (though not the woodpecker one), mentions Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster”. National Public Radio
This film is at the Capitol Theater, 206 5th Ave SE. For more information visit www.olympiafilmsociety.org.

The Olympia Film Society Presents Micmacs

Bazil’s father is killed by a landmine when he is a child. Years later, he is hit in the head by a stray bullet, costing him his home and his job. His future looks bleak until a quirky band of junk collectors takes him in. These outsiders offer Bazil friendship and family, and when he decides to get even with the weapons companies that have wrecked his life, his new friends offer to help. Critics are calling this comedy directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s (who also directed Amelie & A Very Long Engagement) his best film yet.

The Olympia Film Society Presents Agora
October 13, 9 pm; October 14, 6:30 pm; October 15, 9 pm
“Agora is a movie about ideas, a drama based on the ancient war between science and superstition. At its center is a woman, Hypatia, who in the fourth century A.D. was a scientist, mathematician, philosopher, astronomer and teacher, respected in Egypt, although women were not expected to be any of those things. Hypatia (Rachel Weisz) was born into the family business. Her father, Theon (Michael Lonsdale), was the curator of the Library of Alexandria, which had as its mission collecting all the world’s knowledge. Scholars traveled there from across the ancient world, doing research and donating manuscripts. It was destroyed by Christians in 391 A.D., and Agora takes place in the years surrounding that incalculable loss. The film’s title refers to a name for the public assembly places in ancient Greek city-states. The library was such an agora, and we see Hypatia teaching a class of young men who listen to her with open admiration. Hypatia used the first scale model of planetary motion to deduce, centuries before Galileo, that the Earth cannot be the center of the universe. Director of Agora, Alejandro Amenbar, seems drawn to stories about the determination of the intellect to work in the real world. His award winning film The Sea Inside (2004) starring Javier Bardem, was winner of the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2005 Oscars”. Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert.
This film is at the Capitol Theater, 206 5th Ave SE. For more information visit www.olympiafilmsociety.org.

News Around Town
Home Body Eco-Luxe Living is now Alchemy Salon & Spa
Home Body is all about the new!
As in, a new name, new products, new services, a new look. Come see their expansion and changes in the opening of Alchemy Salon & Spa.
Alchemy Salon & Spa welcomes Shannon Carroll, a hair stylist with 18 years of experience behind the chair, as their new partner in this venture and value her experience as a stylist & colorist. And they are happy to have Amy Murry and her massage therapist skills here. Melissa Boyer will continue to use Sircuit Skin in all her professional skin care treatments.
Now Alchemy Salon & Spa can meet more of your beauty and wellness needs under one roof! Stay tuned for mineral makeup and more in-store events.
Shannon will be using INOA, an innovative new system of no ammonia hair color in all of her professional hair care treatments that adds moisture and shine while respecting the essential amino acids & lipid balance of the hair. And Intelligent Nutrients, the new organic line from the creator of Aveda. Alchemy Salon & Spa is excited to be the first place in town to offer this food grade line. They will carry IN hair care along with their organic chocolate bars.
Melissa and Kevin Boyer would like to say thank you to all of you… their wonderful clients, friends and family that have supported us in this business through the past three years. Though they are saying goodbye to Home Body in name, Eco-Luxe Living will continue to be a guiding principle. As you can see, the changes are subtle so far. So what’s the story about Alchemy? Back in 2007, when Melissa and Kevin were thinking about opening their doors, Alchemy was one of the names that they considered during their many brainstorms. It represents the transmutation of base metals into gold… a perfect metaphor for beauty transformations! Right? After all, change is good.

Capital Playhouse Announces Tickets on Sale for Capital Playhouse’s 2010 to 2011 Season Opener, Into the Woods
Capital Playhouse’s 13th Season in a Box is off to an incredible start with an audience favorite, James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods! Showing October 7 to 30, this all-star cast includes several Capital Playhouse regulars, students of the Playhouse’s youth programs, and new talent as well! The well-known sagas of cockeyed characters unite in this fractured fairy tale.

Wishes are granted, but the consequences return to haunt them later as they learn about the pitfalls of greed and gluttony. What begins as a lively irreverent fantasy becomes a moving lesson about community responsibility and the stories we tell our children. Single tickets are on sale now – call the box office to reserve your seats!
Performances run October 7 – October 30, Wednesdays through Saturdays at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 2 pm. Tickets are $33 to $39 for adults, $28 to $34 for seniors (60+) and youth (16 and under).

The Stranger Holiday Neighborhood Shopping Guide
einmaleins is organizing a special The Stranger Holiday Neighborhood Shopping Guide.
One page, 12 businesses $150 each.
Contact Mathias Eichler for details at mathias@einmaleins.co or 539-6175.
From the Stranger:
One beautiful thing about the state of the economy is the raise in awareness of independently owned businesses. Businesses in our neighborhoods. And continuing to support them.
Our Gifted Guide is a fantastic pull-out; stapled and trimmed and inserted into the 11/25 issue of The Stranger. It’s divvied up by neighborhood and all neighborhoods have maps.
Maybe your shop carries the perfect stocking stuffer. Or perhaps you provide an unrivaled service. You may even be pouring the best cocktail (and the fueling most of The Stranger’s readers to get creative with their shopping list). Either which way, it’s a great reason to be part of this guide.
Each ad is accompanied by a business profile – the best way to editorialize your biz in print. Mathias will even help you write it…. If you’re interested, he would be happy to swing by with a copy of last year’s guide.
Deadlines are rather sharp and space is limited for each neighborhood. Please let Mathias know ASAP if you’d like to be involved.
