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), February 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. In partnership with Edmonds College, we’re proud to be producing our second completely free children’s show for the community. Last year we welcomed over 1,700 children and their families into the theatre for our multi-award nominated A Year with Frog and Toad.
Performances will be held at the Black Box Theatre at Edmonds College. For free tickets please visit ballyhootheatre.org.

• Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express.

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.

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.
Tickets are $25 for adult, $22 for senior/student/military, and $12 for child. Purchase tickets online, by phone at (360) 322-7402, or in person at the box office 2-6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

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.

Cascadia Art Museum: presents the first American exhibition and publication to feature the work of Seattle artist Elsa Thoresen (1906-1994). Objects of the Elements: The Art of Elsa Thoresen will be on display from Dec. 3 to March 8 at 190 Sunset Ave. in Edmonds.
Her father, a Norwegian immigrant, was a practicing physician in Seattle at the turn of the century before relocating to Minnesota where Elsa was born. After the family moved to Oslo, Norway in 1920, Elsa attended art school where she met the Danish artist Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen (1909-1957), a fellow student. After developing a romantic relationship, the couple pursued their art education and married in Copenhagen in 1935.
She and her husband were at the forefront of the Surrealist movement in Scandinavia and were included in numerous important exhibitions throughout Europe. After relocating to Sweden in 1944 due to the Nazi occupation of Denmark, Elsa developed a unique personal visual language based on natural forms such as driftwood and fantasy landscapes. After their divorce in 1953, Elsa returned to the U.S. and relocated to Seattle the following year. Although she had tremendous success as a Surrealist abroad, her Northwest paintings concentrated on lyrical, biomorphic abstractions which she produced until her death in 1994.
A small exhibition of paintings and ceramics by Vilhelm Bjerke-Petersen will also be featured in the museum’s West Gallery.
The accompanying publication, Objects of the Elements: The Art of Elsa Thoresen, will be internationally distributed by the University of Washington Press.
