BPA Gallery Announces First Friday Art Walk: THE MANY FACES OF GAIA
by BWW News Desk - March 03, 2017
Join us in the BPA Gallery April 7 for an artist reception and a fun evening of art, food, and friends. The April exhibit features the spirit-guided paintings of Bainbridge artist Deborah Jane Milton, PhD who teaches ART as a way of knowing, as a way of transforming, as a way of embracing the issues of our time on this planet. She currently teaches Painting Poetic Prayers for the World to anyone interested in creative expression. Guided by spirit, she describes the intuitive prayer painting process as 'good medicine for whatever ails us, our culture, our world.' With Prayer Painting, she paints with intention, transforming 'grief to grace, the scared to the sacred, anger to compassion, loneliness and estrangement to belonging and community.'

BWW Review: ArtsWest's Gripping MILK LIKE SUGAR Needs Some Time to Settle
by Jay Irwin - March 03, 2017
A play like "Milk Like Sugar" about three teenage girls making a pact to all get pregnant while still in school would be a ridiculous premise if it weren't for the fact that it's based in reality. And while the current production at ArtsWest may boast some gripping performances, opening night also contained some glaring shortcomings that I hope will be overcome as the show settles over the run.

BWW Review: Astonishing Vocals in SMT's LITTLE WOMEN
by Jay Irwin - February 27, 2017
Shows like the musical version of "Little Women" require a powerhouse cast in order to survive. The songs are soaring and powerful and without the vocals to back it up, it's just not worth it. Fortunately Seattle Musical Theatre has some outstanding performers in their current offering but unfortunately the production offers little else to back up those astonishing vocals.
