Community to help Eastlake graduate who has cancer

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The entire Eastlake Wolves soccer community will converge at Mod’s Pizza in Sammamish in early August — but’s not it’s not for an after-game pizza.

They’ll be there to support a recent Eastlake grad who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in early 2015.

In the midst of a summer that’s seen higher than normal water use and hot, dry weather — and coming off the heels of a winter that saw scant snowfall — water officials in Western Washington are worried about the availability of water throughout the region.

The Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District activated its water shortage response plan Monday, joining the Cascade Water Alliance, Seattle Public Utilities, Tacoma Water and the city of Everett in asking residents to use water wisely.

At the same time, the Sammamish Plateau has seen its highest level of water consumption in nearly a decade, according to the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District.

“Our June consumption was off the charts,” the District’s General Manager Jay Krauss said Monday.

Just from 2014, the District has seen an uptick of nearly 16 percent in water consumption. That is 116 million more gallons of water used this year over last.

City to study troubled crosswalks, intersections

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Dozens of Issaquah citizens gathered in Tibbetts Creek Manor Monday night to identify troublesome crosswalks at a community meeting for pedestrian safety.

Mayor Fred Butler called the meeting a forum for a backand-forth interaction between citizens and government that wasn’t possible in city council

public comment regarding the June 26 death of 4-year-old Haochen Xu on Newport Way Northwest, outside the Summerhill neighborhood.

“This evening our first team is here to listen and hear from you,” Butler said in a statement at the top of the night.

Butler added that he expected new applications for development along Newport to change the nature of the corridor and potentially necessitate lower

speed limits, eliciting applause from the audience.

Some residents said they expected the community meeting’s dialogue to take the form of a group discussion with the city’s staff, elected officials and hired transportation consultants.

Instead the meeting took the form of an open house in which those same city parties set themselves up next to maps of Issaquah neighborhoods and took notes as Issaquahns pointed out which intersections they believed to be unsafe for pedestrians.

That data will be compared against traffic and accident data SEE STUDY, 3

Even still, the District’s “robust” and “diverse” water supply, Krauss said, can meet the demand generated by the 55,000 people it serves on the Plateau and in Issaquah.

While the response plan is still in the “advisory stage” — meaning the District is encouraging customers to be aware of their water use without imposing restrictions, voluntary or otherwise — the water shortage response plan is a precautionary measure to “ensure that the entire region is ready for a potential water shortage,” according to a Seattle Public Utilities announcement Monday.

“We have been closely monitoring our water production and aquifer levels,” Krauss said. “We are seeing water levels in July drop to what we normally see in September.”

Whereas the water supplies for the Everett, Seattle and Tacoma areas rely on snowpack, the major source of water for the cities of Sammamish and Issaquah comes from groundwater aquifers that rely on rainfall, Issaquah Water Manager Greg

Brush fires threaten neighborhoods

Keith said.

It is this distinction that has local officials confident the water supply will continue to provide for Sammamish and Issaquah residents leading up to the fall.

“Our wells are certainly not in any danger,” Keith said.

The city of Issaquah relies on four wells along the valley floor and purchases some water from the Cascade Water Alliance.

Most of the Plateau is served by the Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District. The northern tip is supplied by Northeast Sammamish Sewer & Water District.

The Northeast District is not connected to Seattle Public Utilities or the Cascade Water Alliance and is not affected by the water advisory.

Residents are asked to conserve water by turning the faucet off while brushing their teeth, washing dishes or shaving and limiting watering lawns.

Taking shorter showers and skipping the car wash are others ways to conserve water.

Eastside Fire & Rescue crews responded to two brush fires in the Sammamish area this week.

The first, in a bog near a residential neighborhood in Klahanie, broke out in the 24500 block of Southeast 34th Place about 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 28.

The second shut down East Lake Sammamish Parkway, between Inglewood Hill Road and the northern city limits of Sammamish, around 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 29.

That fire began in the 3200

block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Northeast shortly after 4 p.m.

No one was hurt in either blaze and both were likely caused by humans, Deputy Fire Chief Greg Tryon said.

Smoke from the Tuesday fire near Klahanie Park was reportedly seen from miles out, as far north as Sahalee Way Northeast and as east as Seattle, Tryon said.

Once located, in the center of a muddy swamp surrounded by brush and vegetation, firefighters struggled to extinguish the fire, as it was burning in heavy peat moss

Many of the housing options in Sammamish are not affordable for people, like educators, who actually work within the city.

“Everybody recognized we don’t have available housing for our teachers,” Councilmember Don Gerend said.

About 26 percent of Sammamish’s workforce is in public education, compared to 6 percent countywide, according to city data.

So breaking ground July 15 on the Habitat for Humanity project off of 228th Avenue Southeast, near Southeast 20th Street, is a great addition to the city, he said.

“It will provide an opportunity for families to live in Sammamish that originally couldn’t afford the retail market,” Gerend said.

On the 1.47-acre lot, Habitat volun-

teers will build 10 cottage homes.

Previously, the site contained a singlefamily home, called the “Lamb House,” which the city had used as a maintenance shop before donating it to the Habitat for Humanity.

Gerend was the mayor at the time the city approved the Habitat pilot program in 2011. This project is unique, in that it’s currently the only affordable housing option outside of the proposed Sammamish Town Center. At a minimum, 10 percent of the town center will be reserved for affordable housing.

“The term ‘affordable housing’ is describing a really wide range (of homes),” A Regional Coalition of Housing (ARCH) Program Manager Arthur Sullivan said.

Essentially, it’s “modest housing,” he said. These homes, on average, will be 1,200 square feet and will not exceed 1,600 square feet.

homelessness and affordable housing needs.

The Habitat project aims to provide low-income housing for families, who want to be homeowners, but whose annual income is around $40,000.

Sullivan says Habitat sets the price of the home to 30 percent of the family’s annual income; and future homeowners are required to put in 500 hours of work, whether that’s on the construction site or in the Habitat office.

“The down payment is your sweat equity,” he said.

He said this site will show current Sammamish residents that “small homes at a higher density can feel and look good in the community.”

The site is within the Issaquah School District. Students will be able to walk along the 228th corridor to Discovery Elementary, Pine Lake Middle School and Skyline High School.

and it was difficult to access.

“It’s going to smolder until the rains return,” Tryon said.

“It’s truly amazing to see a swamp on fire.”

This was the second bog to catch fire in Sammamish this year. The previous one, caused by fireworks, was in March.

Crews remained on scene overnight to keep an eye on the area and will continue to monitor the site until the fall rain returns.

Tryon said the fire likely started in a “hangout” area where someone had a campfire.

The roughly 2-acre by

1-acre fire was about 100 yards from nearby homes on Southeast 34th, Tryon said.

In order to keep residences safe, Tryon asks people to be mindful of dry debris around the home. He suggests trimming low, dry tree limbs and regularly mowing the lawn — even if it is dead.

“Simple stuff like that would help keep everyone safer,” he said.

About 50 firefighters, including three from the Duvall Fire Department, responded to the Klahanie fire. It took 11 engines, including four brush engines, to contain the flames.

The Redmond Fire Department assisted with the Parkway fire.

New Eastlake head soccer coach Marc Wilson met Brown for the first time this spring.

“Riley is an incredible young woman and one of those people that has a smile on her face all the time,” Wilson said. “You can see why people gravitate toward her.”

Wilson and the Wolves will host an all-day fundraiser benefitting Brown and her family Aug. 4.

“Mod Pizza will donate 20 percent of all sales on that day to the Eastlake Booster Club, which will in turn donate those funds to Riley Brown and her family,” Wilson said.

“Instead of standing out there and watching all day, we can watch the footage at high speed and slow it down when we see someone approach,” Salemann said. “Then we can look and go, OK, did they press the crosswalk button before they crossed the street? If so, did cars stop at the signal?”

That data will be distilled into a preliminary report to be released in September.

Eastlake Wolves 2013 graduate Riley Brown (as seen above during her time on the Eastlake soccer team) was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma earlier this year.

Wilson said Brown is part of the Eastlake Wolves soccer family.

“One of our big mottos as a soccer program is family and that extends beyond just the group of girls that are playing here today, it extends to all the alumni that played here

in the past,” he said. “We are a tight-knit community. Once family, always family.”

Wilson announced in mid-July that Brown was named as an honorary alumni staff coach for the 2015-16 season.

sticking pins at problem intersections — revealed several popularly despised roadways beyond Newport Way Northwest.

Martin Buckley and Grania Buckley said one pedestrian thruway south of Clark Elementary was nearly invisible, and that drivers in the area would travel well above the posted speed limit.

“We’ve all almost been hit on this crosswalk,” Martin Buckley said.

Other hot spots included a “choke point” on West Lake Sammamish Parkway east of 194th Avenue Southeast — where a neighborhood wall forces parallel parkers to block available pedestrian pathways, nearby resident and city council candidate Tim Flood said — and the Highlands intersection of Northeast Park Drive and Northeast Federal Drive.

One intersection that attracted particular ire was the Issaquah Commons private road intersec-

tion with Maple Street Northwest. Notes about the road, which connects to Target and Trader Joe’s, identified the need for a four-way stop, and pointed out the brick overlay of the private throughway made crosswalks difficult to identify.

C.A. Christensen said he was almost hit at that intersection several years ago.

“It was pretty close,” Christensen said. “Within inches, I’d say.”

Christensen has contacted the city about the intersection several times with little response, he said. He said he was one of the meeting attendees who had hoped for a public group dialogue.

“What people wanted was more of a question and answer period,” he said. “If everyone reports these things separately, they seem isolated.”

Steel and Glory Inside the world of medieval stage combat troupe The Seattle Knights Story and photos by Daniel Nash

“M

ost injuries happen with daggers. The reason for that is that they’re small and they’re hard to keep track of in a fight. Plays will often use collapsible daggers if they have a scene where someone needs to be stabbed.

We don’t use the collapsible daggers.”

It’s a Friday afternoon and Dylan Birtolo and I are sitting outside the cafeteria of Building 50 on the Microsoft campus in Redmond. Birtolo spends most of his days writing programming instruction manuals for the Windows 10 UAP, but at the moment he’s taking a break to explain the finer points of medieval weaponry.

The problem with collapsible daggers, he explains, is that they work mechanically and mechanisms can fail. Especially when they’re improperly lubricated or jammed up by foreign matter — say, blood.

“You can really wind up hurting someone if you go for a full stab and the dagger doesn’t collapse,” Dylan says.

Though Dylan’s weeks are spent in a windowless office figuring out new ways to explain cross-platform coding, his weekends are spent with swords, maces and jousting lances. You see, he’s a member of the Seattle Knights, a stage combat performance troupe that sells its services to Renaissance faires, Medieval Times-style dinner theater venues and film or televi-

sion productions — recently, members appeared as extras on HBO’s Game of Thrones.

“We prefer to use real weapons while using techniques that make it look like we’re stabbing someone without actually stabbing them,” Dylan says.

Some Microsoft employees having lunch at the next table look over at us as Dylan explains this. One could be forgiven for thinking this is some kind of History Geek Amateur Hour, some kind of Adult Playtime for Fantasy Nerds. Forgiven, but still wrong.

“It’s much safer,” Dylan says. *** Five days later, I’ve driven from work to the Interbay neighborhood of Seattle, home of the Washington National Guard’s Seattle Armory. Dylan’s told me this is where the Seattle Knights hold their weekly practice, but after two trips circling the parking lot — and two good looks at the sign reminding visitors that trespassing on federal property is a felony — I’m tempted to cut my losses and bounce for the night.

Then I spot two women getting out of their car. Dressed in T-shirts and yoga pants, they could have been any pair of friends out for an evening WOD at the

Crossfit studio across the train tracks.

Except when they reach into the trunk for their gear, what comes out are a halberd and a spear. Bingo.

Soon enough, I’m following them past the Armory gate into a small gymnasium where the steady clang of sword impact after sword impact is backed by the loose change sound of two dozen women and men fitting chain mail and steel plate over their Under Armour and Reeboks.

I find Dameon Willich, the founder of the Seattle Knights, sitting in the corner with senior members of the troupe, talking logistics for their show in July’s Highland Games in Enumclaw. He gets up to greet me and, standing north of 6-foot, broadshouldered with a mane of snow white hair

swept into a ponytail under his ranger hat and a spiderweb of blood vessels that lend his nose a permanent sunburn, he cuts an imposing figure. When other Knights say his name, they say it in reverent tones, the kind of “Oh captain, my captain” tones reserved for a Dear Leader. When he barks orders, there’s just a little bit of give in his voice, like a soft-but-stern father or a stern-but-soft football coach.

We exchange greetings and then get down to business.

“I’ll tell you what I’ll do,” Dameon says in his characteristic gruff tones. “I’m going to find you a chair and a corner where you can sit and watch safely. We’re going to

ubbling laughter, rosy faces, warm smiles. No, you are not at a theme park or a party—you are in a face-to-face interview with the wonderful people at Seattle Singles.

The interview is the second step in the program’s simple process.

Seattle Singles acts more as a life coach and best friend than what the name entails. Greeted by the blushing, friendly, outgoing character Lindsay, Seattle Singles Director, you will immediately feel at ease—no nervousness and no awkward conversations. Lindsay and her team make you feel like you are having a conversation with an old friend. She remembers your name, your likes, dislikes and has one specific, helpful personality trait in particular: the ability to read people and match them with their soul mates.

Companionship—such a result is worth the meeting.

Seattle Singles is different than online dating sites. Having been in business for more than 25 years, Seattle Singles knows what they are doing. They conduct thorough background checks and personal screenings, ensuring the utmost protection for their members.

“Singles enjoy being a member of our service for our industry leading screening process, including a nationwide criminal background check, which not only protects them from potential threats, but their families as well. Our clients also appreciate the personal and professional attention our staff provides which is all geared toward not only finding that special someone, but also to improve the overall quality of their lives with services that extend beyond the typical online dating site or matchmaking service,” said Lindsay.

Seattle Singles has learned over the years that many singles are not only crunched financially, but also crunched for time. That is why Seattle Singles offers the Singles VIP Concierge Service.

“The Singles VIP Concierge Service is especially popular with our single parent clients,” said Lindsay. Whether it is to locate and contact a certified child care service to babysit the night of the special date, or for the single dad who needs help planning the date and making restaurant reservations, the concierge service can do it all.

<< KNIGHTS, cont’d from 4 have a lot of swords and other things swinging around the room and it’s easy to get hurt. I’ll send people over to talk to you.”

I’m a little disappointed I won’t be in the thick of things. But then I remind myself if I had my druthers, I’d be jamming my gut into a breast plate and swinging a flail with the same cowboy enthusiasm as Major Kong in the climactic scene of Dr. Strangelove. So, fair enough.

After all, the people on the floor had put in two years to get to this point: One year in “Knights Academy,” a series of four 10week courses that cover everything from walking in armor to advanced choreography and improvisation, plus a second “internship” year as an unpaid squire, fetching water and performing other support duties at shows.

Twenty feet in front of me, a squat, muscular woman in a black T-shirt and camouflaged fatigue pants wanders from Dameon’s makeshift office onto the open floor, dragging the blade of her broadsword against the smooth concrete in loop-deloop swirling motions. The idly violent gesture is a common pop culture trope: highly impractical, but also highly intimidating.

I wonder how many of her characters are villains. She makes it halfway to a basketball

jousters,” he says. “Or, if they do, they’re just eye candy.”

Kyle, lean and lanky with a long ponytail, stays in a comfortable crouch for our entire chat. I can tell he’s one of those guys who has a graceful ease about him at all times — when he’s in character, he plays Sir Gerard Valliant, a swaggering ladies man. But he assures me that Kyle — the real Kyle — is Very Stressed working out the details of the Knights’ upcoming joust arena at the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire in Bonney Lake.

“This is basically my directorial debut,” he says. “I mean, I’ve directed individual jousts before, but Midsummer is three weekends, three shows a day… that’s 18 shows. In a row.”

He exhales hard, as if to punctuate the point. “When I joined the troupe [in 2004], that was the last year they performed a three-weekend Faire.”

Just listening to him describe the logistics is exhausting: casting parts, rotating schedules, scheduling fights on the steeds and on the ground, dealing with fans, making sure the client is happy, looking after the well-being of the jousters’ horses — horses they often own, usually for the sole purpose of jousting.

At the same time, this is Kyle’s idea of heaven. He attended Renaissance faires for years before he joined the Seattle Knights

The shield twisted his arm on impact, wrenching his shoulder and popping out his collarbone hoop in the corner and brings the point of her sword up to another woman there, challenging her to a duel. They draw closer and immediately engage in a half-speed block and parry, their swords striking one-two, one-two, one-two.

“Is everyone here practicing their routines for this weekend’s show?” I ask Dameon.

“Practicing old routines and building new ones,” he replies.

Dylan had explained to me that fight choreographers have their own language, a system for committing the fights they build in practice to paper so they can be more easily memorized or picked up by other performers. The language is largely numeric, assigning numbers to points on the body. The standard used by the Society of American Fight Directors for sword fights is a five-point system; the Knights use 18.

The two women end their battle and separate without a clear winner. *** “One of the things we pride ourselves on is that, I think, about half of our troupe is female.”

The first person Dameon’s sent over is Kyle Robinson, a longtime performer and an up-and-coming director in the Knights.

“A lot of joust troupes don’t have female

and the first time he saw the Knights was at Midsummer, when it was still the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire in Gig Harbor.

“My jaw dropped,” Kyle says, mimicking the expression. “The rest was history.”

I first met Midsummer’s operations manager, Tracy Nietupski, two years ago on another assignment. Chatty and jovial, she was the quintessential “theater mom,” regularly checking in on her volunteers and making sure they stayed fed and hydrated. She was always armed with a laugh whenever the young men joked about flirting with wenches.

But she was also supremely dedicated to the Faire’s mission of historical education and accuracy. Actors at Midsummer don’t wear costumes, they wear period correct clothing handsewn from whole cloth. The buildings aren’t two-dimensional facades, they’re solid structures. For the three weekends a year that it exists, the fictional destination of Merriwick is a fully functioning village that entertains more than 30,000 visitors.

“As far as the show goes, we want this to be as close to a village in 1571 as possible,” Tracy told me at the time. “Most of our performers try to speak as people back then would speak. It was a chivalrous and courteous time. So the queen will walk by and they will all bow and say ‘God save the queen!’ Visitors obviously don’t have to do that, but all of

our performers are working to make this an authentic historical experience.” *** The woman in the camouflaged pants is at it again. This time she’s locked in mortal combat with a great mountain of a man swaddled in a royal blue cloth shirt and matching bandana. She holds her own well and at one point traps him in a bear hug aided with the flat of her blade over his chest. He breaks free and swings for her head. She kneels to avoid the strike, but as she comes back up, Big Blue comes in with the punch.

After they wrap up, Big Blue comes over and introduces himself as Sir Edward. I’m momentarily gleeful when he offers me his sword and introduces me to the first two rules of swordplay: “Move first, block second” and “Strike with the blade, block with the flat.”

“Sir Edward,” Dameon barks. “What’s that man doing with your sword?”

Edward snatches his blade back out of my hands with a speed that belies his size.

“Nothin’,” he says, shooting Dameon an ‘aw shucks’ smile.

Edward confides that he’s on R&R after a recent surgery. He’s still allowed to practice, but Dameon’s restricting him to maybe 10 minutes at a time, at a leisurely pace. Edward lives on the west side of the Puget Sound, so effectively he’s taking the ferry each week to spend the better part of two hours not practicing.

Every person who wanders over to my dunce’s chair offers another shock at the effort and sacrifice it takes to be a part of the Knights. Edward isn’t the only member who lives in the Olympics and, by his account, most of the members travel from well outside Seattle. One woman, Tiffany Kreider, tells me she rides the bus from Kirkland each week with her chainmail, sword and spear.

“I get looks,” she says. “The ones I love are the people who want to ask about them but don’t. Because you can tell when they want to ask.”

Dylan’s list of investments in the knighthood alone could fill an article. A few years ago he bought a horse, Connal, for the sole purpose of jousting, with no idea whether it would take to the sport or not. He lucked out — once Connal got used to seeing Dylan in his armor, he turned out to be a natural.

But risk is ever present, even under ideal conditions, and Dylan took a nasty fall off his horse during a show.

“When you fall, you’re supposed to ditch your shield immediately,” he says. “But this one time, I couldn’t throw it away from me and I landed wrong.”

The shield twisted his arm on impact, wrenching his shoulder and popping out his collarbone. It didn’t incapacitate him, but Dylan says he still feels the injury every day.

So why do it? Why traverse counties for two-hour practices? Why spend two years learning an entirely new and largely impractical skillset? Or spend thousands on weapons, armor or beasts of burden?

Why does Edward have the purest look of pride I’ve ever seen when he shows me the necklace he received upon entering the knighthood?

The specific reasons I’m given vary. One Rentonite, Jordin Mitchell, tells me the acting side of knighthood brought him out of his shell, helping him overcome a shyness that kept him from saying a word during his first days in the academy.

Tiffany, who struggled through class after class until she was “happily in the middle” of performance, felt like it was a natural fit from the moment in 1994 when a member of the Knights — who still performs today — let her sit on her horse.

“It’s funny because I learned that’s one of the things you’re absolutely not supposed to do, for the liability and insurance and everything,” she says. “So I asked her years later why she did that and she said, ‘I had a feeling about you.’”

Edward tells me he gets a kick out of the children who buy into his character, hook, line and sinker.

“When a child looks up at me with big, wide eyes and asks ‘Are you a knight?’” he says, imitating the expression. “That’s the best.”

But for every single person I talked to, for every specific little reason I heard, it all eventually boiled down to one big reason: It’s just frickin’ awesome. “[My favorite part about this] varies and my answer changes year to year,” Dylan says. “Right now, it’s being on the horse, either after a joust or a run, riding around at breakneck speed, whipping off my helmet, screaming at the crowd and having them scream back at me.

“Yeah. That’s pretty cool.”

A Kirkland Art exhibit ponders life, personality of mysterious Mrs. Goldberg

T

o some, Mrs. Goldberg is a wild adventurer, a woman who enjoys wing walking and once joining a group of friends from Seattle to trek down to Burning Man. To others, she is an aging, doting mother who struggles with, but eventually supports, her daughter’s decision to make jewelry instead of becoming a doctor.

None of the ideas floating around on Mrs. Goldberg’s Facebook page can be proven right, yet none of them are incorrect.

Mrs. Goldberg, the fictionalized woman at the center of the Kirkland Arts Center’s new exhibit Mrs. Goldberg, A Curated Life, has sprouted the imaginations of artists and art patrons alike.

Viewers are meant to take away their own ideas about who Mrs. Goldberg is from the myriad of pieces that make up the exhibit. What they interpret about the mysterious Mrs. Goldberg from these fragmented pieces is meant to juxtapose reality with the identities people create online.

“If you look at the Facebook page, that person could be just as real as anyone else,” said one of the exhibit curators, Michael Dickter.

Dickter and fellow curator Nancy Whittaker brought the idea to the Kirkland Arts Center during an open call for exhibit submissions.

The imaginary entity of Mrs. Goldberg was created ten years ago by Ballard-based artist Carole d’Inverno in response to Dickter asking for the identity of the woman in an abstract oil painting she had just finished.

“Oh, that’s Mrs. Goldberg,” she said flippantly, creating a woman who would become a long-running joke between the two, and later the star of the nearly 30-piece

Most pieces in the show don’t comment on the physical aspects of Mrs. Goldberg. Instead, they act as scattered breadcrumbs, tidbits of information about her life and her personality.

But there isn’t even a set trail to follow — the exhibit wasn’t arranged with a particular workflow in mind.

For example, Mrs. Goldberg’s Struggle To Maintain “I wasn’t interested in Balance, which features a coming up with who rough three-dimensional Mrs. Goldberg was. image of an abstract hanging What was interesting scale, is made of mysteriwas what everyone ous rough-textured materibrought to it and takes als. Look closely, and you’ll see the frame is made from away from it.“ orange peels. The jury is out Michael Dickter, on the other materials and Mrs. Goldberg curator. what balance Mrs. Goldberg is trying to maintain.

Both Dickter and Whittaker have sometimes contrasting but constantly evolving interpretations of the various artwork. Stopping in front of Mrs. Goldberg: Stowaway, a misty-colored painting showing the hull of a rowboat on calm waters, they offer differing opinions on if the boat is departing and arriving, where it came from/is going to.

“I’ve walked through this exhibit so many times, but I still have all of these new ideas about the pieces,” said Whittaker.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the show is that the purpose and takeaway is constantly changing.

Spoiler alert: There are no answers. The conclusions drawn are entirely in the minds of the beholders.

“I wasn’t interested in coming up with who Mrs. Goldberg was,” said Dickter. “What was interesting was what everyone brought to it and takes away from it.”

If you have a job interview coming up and need to look designer chic without paying designer prices, the Bellevue LifeSpring Thrift Shop in Bellevue Square has your back 362 days a year. A word of caution from 11-year volunteer manager Maggie Vergien: Mall employees know the inventory, and word about the good stuff — say a $60 Armani jacket — spreads quickly. High traffic is 11-11:30 a.m.

Thrift shop profits go to LifeSpring services that feed, clothe and educate children living in poverty, which adds up to about 3,600 kids in Bellevue. Gift cards are also passed out to use at the thrift shop, but Vergien says the store struggles with children’s clothing donations.

For every $200 of assistance LifeSpring provides an adult, they are expected to provide an hour of community service, which can be done at the thrift shop.

About 20,000 volunteer hours are logged their every year.

Prices and deals vary, depending on how long an item has been on the shelf.

Blue tagged items are 75 percent off; designer fashions with an orange tag are 50 percent off and items with red, yellow or green tags are 25 percent off.

Gilman Village

Tear down this wall Village Theatre opens up developing show Great Wall to the general public for its Festival of New Musicals

by Daniel Nash

I

t's an exciting time to be a Northwest theater geek. In mid-July, 5th Avenue announced the lineup for its inaugural NextFest program for musicals under development, rattling off a list of nine shows that included a WWII period drama about a master art forger, an adaptation of a classic Ray Bradbury novel and a murder mystery in a world where clowns are an ethnicity.

The bad news? You won't be able to see any of these shows unless and until they're finished -- at least, not unless you're willing to drop $2,500 on a donation to join the theater's prestigious Artist's Circle.

That's also largely true for the Village Theatre's Festival of New Musicals, which announced its sixshow lineup earlier today (although Village Originals memberships, starting at $150 for donors who want to attend the festival, are just a wee bit easier on the wallet for your average Joe Drama Nerd).

Five of the festival's shows — presented as gussied-up stage readings of the scripts — will be closed off to everyone but professionals and Originals members who will be tasked with providing feedback on what they did and didn't like about the infant productions.

But that won't be the case for

Great Wall — a show by Kevin So and Kevin Merrit with creative input from M. Butterfly's David Henry Hwang — which last made an appearance at the festival in 2012 and has appeared in development at nine other festivals and venues across the country. Village Theatre is opening up the staging of Great Wall to the general public, at $25 for adults and $20 for children and seniors.

Here's the premise, from the description in Village Theatre's announcement: It’s a long shot for Kevin to become an Asian-American rock star, but that’s exactly what he’s reaching for as he struggles to smash glass ceilings and become America’s new sensation. But after the sudden death of his father, a clash of family and cultural expectations force him to choose between supporting his family and pursuing

stardom. Full of soulful melodies, this bold new musical takes a fresh and honest look at the American dream, examining the choices we make, the risks we take, and the relationships that make it all worthwhile.

Pretty cool, right? Despite breakout hits like 1988 Tony Award winner M. Butterfly, it's an open secret that Asians and Pacific Islanders are generally underrepresented in the performing arts. One 2012

story from NPR cited a study by the Asian American Performers Action Coalition, which found that over the course of five seasons, less than 3 percent of roles in Broadway productions went to Asian-American actors. Great Wall confronts this problem head on, both in its premise and in the very fact of its production.

Great Wall will run Aug. 6-9 in Issaquah and Aug. 15-16 in Everett.

Conversations with Funny People

Tommy Davidson Interview by Keegan Prosser

A

n original cast member of In Living Color, (1990-1994) Tommy Davidson — along with cast members Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx and Damon Wayans — built a legacy of laughs for their groundbreaking and innovative comedic talents. And in the years since, Davidson has continued the tradition.

In addition to perfecting hilarious impressions of Sammy Davis, Jr., Michael Jackson and President Obama, Davidson has released three Showtime specials: On Strength of New York, Illin’ in Philly and Takin’ it to DC. On the big screen, Davidson has starred in films including Strictly Business, Booty Call, Bamboozled and Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls. Davidson has also lent his voice to the Adult Swim show Black Dynamite and Bruce W. Smith’s animated series, The Proud Family.

The Eastside Scene caught up with Davidson (to talk politics and such) in advance of his headlining shows at the Parlor Live: If you had to describe your act in two words, what would they be?

TOMMY DAVIDSON: Fan. Tastic.

What inspires your comedy?

DAVIDSON: Just everyday life. I’ve been blessed to see the funny in everything — I can see funny where people don’t see it.

You’re known for doing some great impressions, including ones of President Obama and Sammy Davis Jr. What’s your favorite?

DAVIDSON: Right now, it’s Obama, because he is so current. But I switch between them at different times.

You’ve been doing this for several years; has your humor changed over the years? And how so?

DAVIDSON: I wouldn’t say my humor has changed, but I go in more directions. I have more skills in doing standup.

You have your hand in a lot of different things; cartoons, movies, videos, standup? What’s your favorite thing to do, and why?

DAVIDSON: I love them all like my kids, but they are all different.

I love them each for different reasons. I would say singing, that’d probably surprise you the most. Singing makes me feel good. And I’ve been doing that since I was a kid.

1356332

Do you have any musical projects in the works?

10 the eastside scene

DAVIDSON: Not anything soon, but I’m always working on music.

The In Living Color reboot was cancelled early in 2013. Can you speak to how you felt when you heard that?

DAVIDSON: What I would say is that Keenan [Ivory Wayans] is not ready. He’s very, very smart. When he’s ready, it will be unveiled.

What can fans expect form your standup act right now?

DAVIDSON: I talk about people. White people, black people,

Hispanic people, Caribbean people — all types of people. I go off in a lot of directions about people — don’t ask me how I got there. I just did [laughs].

Last question: Pop culture website TMZ has caught some funny moments of you in L.A. driving some pretty beat up cars. So what are you driving these days?

DAVIDSON: A ‘63 Dodge Dart.

Is that a new purchase? Or something you’ve had for awhile?

DAVIDSON: I’d say that’s a new purchase. I love that car.

Tommy Davidson performs at Parlor Live Comedy Club August 20-21.
