ARABIAN NIGHTS By Mary Zimmerman Directed by Jake Groshong SHOW TIMES Oct 16 - Nov 8 Thursdays-Saturdays: 8pm Sundays: 2pm Mary Zimmerman's magical adaptation beautifully captures Scheherazade's tales of love, lust, comedy, and dreams in ancient Iraq. A twelve-member cast offers a wonderful blend of the lesser-known tales from Arabian Nights to show that the magic of storytelling holds the power to change people. Scheherazade's cliffhanger stories prevent her husband, the cruel ruler Shahryar, from murdering her as the ensemble weaves her gorgeous parables into reality. Don't miss the magic... Stories are meant to be seen. And Speak. And Live...

Especially those that are underage!! In addition we will have a table set up for Bone Marrow Donor registration: 4-year-old Liam McNassar is in urgent need of a bone marrow donor. On May 9th of 2008, Liam was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). After looking at the international registry of over 11 million potential donors, not a single match was found. Family and friends are urging everyone and anyone interested to join the registry. Register as a Bone Marrow Donor and you may save the life of Little Liam or one of countless others seeking a bone marrow transfusion. Your cheek will be swabbed and the sample will be sent to the National Marrow Donor Program Registry. You could be called on to help save the life of someone in need! Free to non-Caucasian and multiracial donors. $25 processing fee for Caucasian donors (goes to Puget Sound Blood Center). However, we are trying to secure funding to help cover this cost.
