At the Arcata Playhouse on Saturday (Apr 26) Cirque du Shwazee presents a family-friendly comedy cabaret, in a benefit for the Arcata Playhouse Summer Youth Programs. It all begins at 6:30 p.m. with local band Bandamonium and a circus midway for kids that includes face painting and a puppet show.

While strictly speaking not a stage event, Ferndale Rep opens its two weekend event Music From the Hart on Thursday. The night-by-night lineup is here at Brown Paper Tickets. If you asked me I would guess that, despite the success of Spamalot, this is the direction the Rep Board is taking, if indeed there is a direction.
I Love You Because, the HLOC musical at Redwood Curtain, continues Thursday through Saturday (until May 17). See review directly below.
