Whatcom County is not only an active community, but a creative one as well. Whether it be theatre, music, comedy or dance, there is something for each one of us to appreciate. There is a wide array of activities in "the arts" for both adults and children to enjoy.
The Historic and renovated in the recent past, Mount Baker Theatre located in downtown Bellingham and Western Washington University's Performing Arts Center bring world class performers to the stage for our community members to enjoy. Currently, the Golden Dragon Acrobats, a premiere Chinese acrobatic touring company is back by popular demand on May 16th and the WWU-PAC has two plays running on the mainstage performed by the students in the Theatre Arts programs.
While the Lynden Performing Arts Guild presents Something's Afoot, a murder mystery musical that spoofs all things detective the Bellingham Theatre Guild concludes it's 2008-09 season with "The Boys from Syracuse", a madcap musical. Both theatres are operated by dedicated community members that are passionate about acting.
Looking for a laugh, then check out The Upfront Theatre downtown on Bay Street. You can see stand up comedy, live improv or take classes at the theatre. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly plays every Thursday at 8pm.
To stay on top of the many different creative avenues available to you pick up a copy of Entertainment News NW, which has a calendar of events to include descriptions and ongoing activities.
