The male heirs of the Baskerville line are being dispatched one by one. To find their killer, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson must crack the mystery of “The Hound of the Baskervilles” before a family curse dooms its newest heir, Feb. 28 to March 22. Watch as our intrepid investigators try to escape a dizzying web of clues, silly accents, disguises and deceit as five actors deftly portray more than 40 characters.

Ballyhoo Theatre Mainstage and Edmonds College present Seussical TYA (Theatre for Youth Audiences), Feb. 20 to March 8, 2026.
Tony-winners, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty have lovingly brought to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, who has too many “thinks.” Horton faces a double challenge – not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces many obstacles, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, chosen family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
At Ballyhoo one of our missions is to make live theatre accessible to families who might not otherwise have the chance to attend.
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for this time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger lighter. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment, stabbed eight times, his door locked from the inside. Isolated with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – in case they decide to strike again.

Center Gallery at Frances Anderson Center, 700 Main St., Edmonds
The Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation is pleased to present The Sacred in Motion, an interdisciplinary exhibition that brings together choreographer Alberto Gaspar, photographer Kimberly Person, and the professional dancers of Olympic Ballet Theatre (OBT). On view January through March 2026, the exhibition offers an immersive gallery experience that celebrates the intersection of movement, emotion, and visual storytelling.
The Sacred in Motion features photographic selections from three of Gaspar’s original works created for OBT—Capriccio del Cuore, 1 in 10²,685,000, and Transfigurations—each reimagined through Person’s intuitive and intimate lens. Her photographs capture dance beyond the stage, preserving the fleeting yet powerful moments that often go unseen: a breath held between transitions, the vulnerability of a fall, and the tension and release that animate the dancers’ bodies. The result is a body of work that reveals both the physical rigor of dance and the emotional and inner worlds that drive it.
Gaspar, a Mexico City–born choreographer with more than two decades of international experience, is known for his emotionally driven, architecturally rich contemporary works. His long-standing collaboration with Olympic Ballet Theatre reflects a shared commitment to community-based artistry and spiritual inquiry through movement. Person’s sensitive photographic approach elevates these qualities into visual compositions that feel alive with motion, presence, and meaning.
Founded in 1981, Olympic Ballet Theatre is one of the Pacific Northwest’s most respected ballet institutions, nurturing dancers across a wide range of ages and stages while presenting a dynamic mix of classical and contemporary repertory. Their participation in The Sacred in Motion aligns with the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting artistic excellence, education, and innovative collaborations that connect artists and audiences in meaningful ways.
The exhibition will be presented 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday (closed Sundays). The Center Gallery is operated year-round by the Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation. The gallery provides a vibrant venue for artists to share their work and for the community to experience, learn from, and be inspired by the arts.

• Edmonds Bookshop is pleased to announce a poetry reading by Priscilla Long at 6 p.m. March 19 during Art Walk Edmonds. She will be reading from her latest publication, Cartographies of Home: Poems, and joined afterwards by local poet Bethany Reid for a conversation about creative work.
Musical and intimate, Priscilla Long’s Cartographies of Home opens with poems centered on a rural childhood and travels to the rebellion in America of the 1960s and 1970s, and onto an old age in the Pacific Northwest. The questions that infuse this collection are: What was home? What is home? Where would home be if I had one? What is home now? What part does love have in home? What part does political life have in the home? What about art? For Long, home includes America, the environment, the plants and animals, art and cultural history, the childhood home, the brother, the twin sister, the intimate partner. These are luscious poems of grief and praise. The cover artwork is from an original painting, House of Dreams, by Edmonds Bookshop owner, Michelle Bear.
Priscilla Long is author of nine books including Cartographies of Home: Poems (MoonPath Press, 2026) and On Spaces and Colors (University of New Mexico Press, forthcoming Autumn 2026). Her how-to-write guide is The Writer’s Portable Mentor. Her work has appeared in publications such as The Hudson Review, The Southern Review, and The American Scholar. Her awards include a National Magazine Award and ten of her essays have been honored as “notable” in various years of Best American Essays. She has an MFA from the University of Washington, and grew up on a dairy farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. To learn more, go to www.priscillalong.com.
Bethany Reid is a poet, writer, editor, and writing coach. She has an MFA in poetry and a PhD in American Literature from the University of Washington. For almost thirty years, she taught composition, American literature, and Creative Nonfiction in the greater Seattle region. She resides in Edmonds, and you can read more about her work at https://www.bethanyareid.com/
The event will be held at the store 6-7 p.m. with the writers available after to chat and sign books.
