Magician Joey Pipia is scheduled to perform at 4 and 6 p.m. Sunday at Fogdog Gallery, 318 N Olympic Ave., Arlington.
"Joey Pipia: The Magic Chamber": This show is being billed as one outrageous event.
Magician Joey Pipia promises to re-create the experience once felt from great traveling magic acts of the vaudeville era with magic that happens "literally inches away from your eyes," Pipia said in a prepared statement.
His magic has been called invisible by colleague and fellow magician Kevin Wolfe.
"His magic is completely original, so you'll not see it anywhere else; he's world class," Wolfe said.
It's a fast-paced show that uses no boxes and no smoke or mirrors. Pipia brings performance skills that he's honed on the road in his Northwest Tall Grass Magic Tour, a re-creation of the traveling "Tall Grass Magicians" who performed back in the day when they went from town to town, literally walking through tall grass, to get from gig to gig.
Pipia is now on a national tour. He has appeared in film, television and on stage and Northwest Magazine once declared: "This man could hide an elephant in his coat."
"Joey Pipia's Magic Chamber" performs at 4 and 6 p.m. Sunday at Fogdog Gallery, 318 N Olympic Ave., Arlington.
Tickets are $20 and may be purchased in person at the Mirkwood & Shire Cafe, 117 E Division St., Arlington, or by calling Brown Paper Tickets at 800-838-3006 or online at brownpapertickets.com.
Seating is limited. The show is not recommended for kids age 6 and under.
"Little Women -- The Musical!": This is a retelling of the classic Louisa May Alcott 1869 semi-autobiographical novel with high energy and heartfelt music, according to press material about the show.
The story follows the four March sisters: tomboy and would-be writer Jo, romantic Meg, pretentious Amy and sweet Beth.
These four sisters women live with their beloved mother, Marmee, in Concord, Mass., while their father is a Union Army chaplain in the Civil War.
Directed by Rose Woods, the cast includes Athena Michaelides, Allison Kennedy, Elizabeth Grant, Ken Martinez, Ahna Dunn-Wilder, Cameron Gray, Matt Bell, Ambria Prosch, Jill Johnson and Kent Junge.
"Little Women" opens Nov.18 and runs three weekends at Whidbey Children's Theater, 222 Anthes Ave., Langley.
Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and $8 for students. Call 360-221-2282 or go to www.wctonline.com.
Small Frye: In a new partnership, the Frye Art Museum is expanding its Small Frye program to incorporate story-dramas presented by the Seattle Children's Theatre.
Since it began last spring, the popular drop-in Small Frye story time program has entertained children 3 to 5 years old with classic tales and contemporary stories.
The free program introduces kids to words and sounds to get them started on the path to reading and writing.
The Small Frye themes sometimes connect to the museum's exhibits so families also learn about art. Families can explore the museum after story time is over.
Through the partnership with the children's theatre, children at Small Frye will be able to experience books "from the inside" using their own imagination, according to press material.
Small Frye is a free program presented the first Friday of each month from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m. at the Frye Art Museum, 704 Terry Ave., Seattle.
The next Small Frye program is Dec. 2.
