Best Bets for May 11-13 | The Bainbridge Blab
Published 10:00 am Friday, May 11, 2018
Sunday is deservedly all about mom, but there’s plenty going on this weekend even before Mother’s Day.
First, the Bainbridge High School production of “Rent” is on stage now, and from Broadway to Bainbridge, years ago and many miles away to the here and now, the musical theater sensation “Rent” has lost none of its power.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12, as well as 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 18 and a 3 p.m. matinée on Saturday, May 19.
Tickets, available only at the door, are $10 each ($8 for students with ID).
The cast includes 22 students, plus five musicians in the pit — which is actually on stage, a fun hurdle that required some quick spacial reconfiguring on the part of the crew — and about 25 crew members working behind the scenes. The show is recommenced for those 13-and-older only. Visit the “theater” section of www.bisd303.org or click here to learn more.
On Saturday, Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network is hosting a “BARNiversary” event to celebrate the new facility’s first year on the island.
From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 12, BARN’s 11 artisan studios will be open to the public. Visitors will see demonstrations and participate in hands-on craft activities, and refreshments will be served.
Attendance is free, and no registration is required.
Parking is available onsite, or in the nearby First Baptist Church parking lot.
Visit www.BainbridgeBarn.org to learn more.
Also on Saturday, Leroy Virgil will rock the Treehouse Café at 8 p.m.
Three years a whole lot of boozing after killing off his band Hellbound Glory, the scruffy tunesmith will back with a new LP, “Pinball,” a new label, and a fresh start.
He’s toured with the likes of Kid Rock and Leon Russell and now he’s coming to Lynwood.
The show is free to attend, open to those 21-and-older only; donations will be accepted.
The Bainbridge Blab is your one-stop spot to get the 411 on all things 98110. From South Beach to Agate Passage, Battle Point to Rolling Bay, we’ve got the straight skinny on Bainbridge Island: the latest chatter, babble and burble. News, too.
