ArtsWest will produce Clyde’s, by Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage (Sweat, Ruined). This co-production with The Hansberry Project will be directed by Seattle theatre staple Valerie Curtis-Newton. The cast features Reginald Jackson, Deja Culver, Jacob Alcazar, Joe Moore, and Tracy Michelle Hughes playing the titular role. Clyde’s performs at ArtsWest from June 6 through June 30, 2024. Tickets are available online at artswest.org or by phone at (206) 938.0963.
In this 2022 Tony Award®-Nominated Best Play, creating the perfect sandwich is the shared quest of the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff of Clyde’s, a truck stop cafe. As the shop’s mischievous owner tries to keep them under her thumb, the staff work to see themselves as whole—to dream again—despite their pasts.
Through the lens of comedy and food, Nottage asks us to consider the long-term weight of the criminal justice system, the difficulties of reentry, and how we view second chances. Joe Moore, who plays Jason in the show, points to the fact that while we live in a country with “by far the biggest incarcerated population in the world,” there is “very little support” in the system for formerly incarcerated folks. This show calls us to “reflect on our own biases, and… open ourselves up to empath[y].” We hope you will join us.
ArtsWest will present Clyde’s, Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sundays at 3 pm.

F3, a free national men’s workout group:
We have a local workout location that meets at Hiawatha park on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am sharp. The group has been around for a few years, so many folks that are up early might have come across us before doing burpees or pushups and counting out loud. We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.
The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.
I am an elementary teacher and I live in the Arbor Heights neighborhood. (This is a) recurring event that I am hosting this summer for kids at the Seola Pond on SW 106th.

All ages and family members are welcome – I recommend bringing a blanket to sit on and be ready to make lots of friends with other kiddos.

Mark your calendars for July 6th! The annual Seafair Pirates Landing at Alki beach is going to be bigger than ever — it is their 75th Anniversary!
The Seattle Seafair Pirate Landing signals the official beginning of Seafair (and the unofficial start to summer) and introduces the city to its new Pirate Captain and Davy Jones. A tradition in Seattle for 75 years, the Pirates will be storming the beach to steal the key to the city on Saturday, July 6th. The pirates will land around 1:30 p.m. with festivities beforehand. Once on the beach, the Pirates will entertain kids of all ages, with treasures galore to share.
According to incoming Captain Kidd Jay Albrecht, “We are excited to be back in Seattle invading Alki for our 75th birthday. But be warned, we will be firing our cannon, drinking rum, and raiding the beach in force. No one is safe!” He also admitted that although the Pirates do notintend to kidnap any during the landing, he could not give assurances they would not make anyone walk the plank.
When asked about his time as Captain of the Pirates, outgoing Captain Kidd Lee “Monsoon” Burns stated, “good riddance —these pirates are stinky and lazy. I’m ready to be done with these scallywags.” Joining Captain Kidd at landing will be Davy Jones Mike Joyal.
The Seattle Seafair Pirates have been scaring kids and delighting the Puget Sound since forming in 1949. That year, the younger members of the Washington State Press Club’s action committee, the Ale & Quail Society, founded the Seattle Seafair Pirates. The members of the Society then joined together with other community leaders to create Seattle’s first Seafair festival in 1950.
Since that time the Seattle Seafair Pirates have directed their energies and talents toward the promotion and production of Seattle’s annual Seafair festivities. Every summer since 1950 the Seafair festivities have begun with the annual proclamation of Davy Jones’ renewed warfare upon the upstart, so-called “King” Neptune. In due course the city falls and the Mayor hands over the keys to the city at the Pirate’s Landing. The Seafair Pirates are led by Captain Kidd and Davy Jones. Captain Kidd is elected by the Ale & Quail Society to lead their pirate operations. Davy Jones, an honorary Seafair Pirate, is chosen from the Seattle community to sail with the Pirates for one year. The Pirates are a scurvy bunch of rogues who annually participate in countless parades, visit hospitals, assisted living facilities, and work to promote Seattle and Seafair year-round.
Made up of members from our community, they tirelessly dedicate themselves to bringing joy (and terror) to children of all ages. The Pirates often create memories!

— Three games. 270 minutes. 9 points on the line. This is all that’s left in West Seattle
Junction FC’s inaugural USL League Two season. From first becoming a club at the start of the year, to now
fighting for a post-season playoff spot, it’s been a whirlwind of a season for the Boys in West Seattle Blue.Junction FC has quickly become one of the standout teams in the NW Division of the Western Conference,
proving week in and week out that despite being one of the new kids on the block, they are able to compete with
the best of the best. Some of the best players in the country, all brought together by Head Coach Erik Oman,
have given the soccer community of West Seattle something to take pride in, and it’s clear they have no
intentions of seeing their season end anytime soon.Junction FC’s next match against FC Olympia on Sunday, July 7th will mark the first of three home matches to
close out their inaugural season. Having drawn 1-1 in their previous meeting this season, picking up three points
will be crucial for Junction FC in their hopes of earning one of the two available playoff spots. Junction FC are
heading into Sunday’s matchup with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five games. FC Olympia on
the other hand currently sit four points behind Junction FC in the table, with a win for Junction meaning they
could jump up to second place if other results across the division go their way. “This really is the home stretch of
our season now,” said Head Coach Oman following their recent loss against United PDX. “Losing Jake
[Larson] early in the game was difficult, and we’re hoping he’ll be back in time for these last few games. We have
other regular starters who are back with us this week, which is a huge boost for us. We’re beyond proud of the
guys with what they’ve achieved thus far, but we all know that the job is not done.”Sunday’s matchup will kickoff at 2:00 pm at Nino Cantu Southwest Athletic Complex. Tickets starting at just
$10 can be purchased online, with this being an excellent way to cap off the holiday weekend. Additionally,
there will be lots of ways to stay cool and enjoy great food and drink while enjoying the game at Junction FC’s
covered stadium. Fans will be able to take their pick from Fit Bar Smoothies, Seattle Pops, and Falafel Salem,
who will all be in attendance on Sunday.

We’d love to extend the invite to men of any fitness level – we work out as a group and don’t leave anyone behind, come as you are and hopefully leave a bit better.
The workout is 45 minutes long and then we all get coffee at West Seattle Grounds. You don’t need to bring anything special, just wear comfortable athletic clothes appropriate for the weather and some sneakers. Some work or gardening gloves can be helpful if you have a pair. Just don’t be late or the whole group is doing penalty burpees.

THURSDAY, JULY 11TH: WORDS, WRITERS, SOUTHWEST STORIES PRESENTS:
Shin Yu Pai
Ten Thousand Things: Artifacts of Asian American LifeIn many Chinese sayings, “ten thousand” is used in a poetic sense to convey something infinite, vast, and unfathomable. In a sense, the story of Asians in America is just that. In her NPR podcast Ten Thousand Things, Shin Yu Pai explores a collection of objects and artifacts that reveal personal and cultural values, stories of diaspora, and tales of trauma that illuminate the Asian American experience.
In this talk enriched by audio clips, Pai shares intimate stories from Asian American communities drawn from two seasons of her chart-topping podcast. From a second-hand novel to a blue suit worn by a congressman on January 6, Shin Yu Pai will discuss Asian American histories, the complexity of Asian American identities and where they fit or don’t fit within larger conversations on race, and what the Asian American experience was like during pandemic.
Shin Yu Pai (she/her) is the creator and host of Ten Thousand Things, a podcast of Asian American stories produced for KUOW. A published poet and author of 13 books, she currently serves as Seattle’s Civic Poet through 2024. Her work has appeared in publications such as the New York Times and Atlas Obscura. She holds an MA degree in Museology from the University of Washington and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Pai lives in Seattle.
This event will be held virtually, via Zoom on July 11, 2024, at 6 pm. A link to join this event will be emailed to registered participants on the day of the event.

Since 1989 GreenStage has brought free Shakespeare in the park to Seattle area audiences. Our mission is to foster an appreciation for live theater by eliminating geographical and financial barriers that impede access to the arts. Our shows tour to over 20 parks, large and small in and around Seattle. Attending is easy – just show up, grab a spot on the grass and enjoy. No tickets or reservations are required. Our shows are focused on the text, story, and character relationships in Shakespeare’s plays, with a goal of making the plays fun and easy to understand. Come join us in the parks this summer for our 36th Anniversary season!
Backyard Bard was born out of a desire to bring Shakespeare to smaller parks and new audiences in underserved neighborhoods. But we don’t just perform in the parks – Backyard Bard is also available for private parties. If you are interested in hosting a performance, contact us at greenstage@greenstage.org.
