FYI

Get a sitter at the theater

Village Theatre and the Everett Family YMCA have teamed up to make a night at the theater easier for parents.

The Everett Family YMCA offers child care and dinner for kids of all ages during the first performance week of each show during Village Theatre’s Mainstage season.

While parents take in the show, kids get to swim, watch movies and play games across the street from the Everett Performance Art Center.

The cost is $20 for one or two children or $30 for three or more kids.

For theater information, call the box office at 425-257-8600. For babysitting information, call 425-258-9211, ext. 137.
