This North Coast Weekend

Tonight (Thursday) at the Van Duzer, CenterArts presents several huge semis worth of Hairspray. Maybe because I made fun of "JS Superstar," they didn't bother sending me a press release on this one. Or an invitation. Very unclassy and mucho gauche.

On Friday, the Four on the Floor folks will celebrate the first anniversary of the Arcata Playhouse with another Club Shampoo, a "hair-raising" revue. Hosted by David Ferney and Jacqueline Dandeneau, it features special guests Lila Nelson, Jeff Demark, Joyce Hough & Fred Neighbor, Glasnost Gypsy Band, The Brendas and "many more." I wonder who the non-special guests will be. It was a fun community event last year, so they recommend reservations. (822-1575.) Doors (and bar) open at 8:30, with the show scheduled to start at 9.

Mo Gaffney and Kathy Najimy play over 50 parts in the comedy they also wrote, Parallel Lives, which begins tomorrow (Friday the 8th) at the Accidental Gallery in Eureka, presented by Shake the Bard Theatre. It continues Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday as well. Topics considered include Disney movies, country and western bars and teenage dating, not necessarily in that order.

Marat/Sade continues at North Coast Rep and 12 Angry Men at Ferndale Rep.
