As befits sum-sum-summertime, it's mostly street theatre this weekend with the Oyster Festival in Arcata and the Garberville rodeo. But there's a big benefit on stage for one night only--Friday (June 15) at the Arcata Playhouse. Thanks for the Mammaries: A Titilating Cabaret features comedy and music by a local all-star lineup, for the Humboldt County Breast Health Project and the international Weekend to End Breast Cancer. It starts at 8 PM. Betti Trauth has a preview at the T-S. And as the event press release says, "So grab your bosom buddy, walk three abreast to the Arcata Playhouse and get ready for a titillating evening of the breast entertainment in the county." Reservations recommended, and can be made by calling 822-1575.
This weekend is your last chance to see To Kill A Mockingbird at Ferndale Rep, and Kiss Me, Kate continues at North Coast Rep in Eureka.
If you're making plans for next weekend, my NCJ column this week previews the Mad River Festival and in particular, Dell'Arte's production of Tartuffe which leads it off on June 21.
Speaking of that column, I asserted that the Marin Theatre grossly distorted Robert Hurwitt's San Francisco Chronicle review of Tartuffe in their publicity. Thanks to the magic of the Internet, you can see for yourself: Here is the original review, and here is the Marin page that lifts the quotes (over to the right of the page.)
