Mary Poppins Jr
2024-02-24 14:00
Join us in 1910 England as Bert, the Jack of All Trades, introduces us to the troubled Banks family. Young siblings Jane and Michael Banks have sent many a nanny packing before the “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep.
Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “anything can happen if you let it!

History of Skagit Punk
2024-02-24 20:00
Listen up, crusties, cavers, wavers, skaters, hardcore kids, and anarchists: This is your story.
Skagit Valley music legend Shane Gildnes has been part of the Northwest punk scene for decades, most notably as the driving force behind both Stagnant Water and Fanny Alger. Now, finally, the Lincoln has caught up with him, and he’s hitting our stage with both of these bands for a night of noisy music interspersed with Shane’s stories of Skagit’s punk rock scene from ever since it was a thing — when we were all smaller and our hair was weirder.
Everyone is welcome! Learn about Mount Vernon’s counter-culture legacy and party like it’s 1989.
Remember: if it’s too loud, you’re just not deaf enough yet.

World Premiere of "Love Letters"
2024-03-08 19:30 - 21:30
Join Western Washington University in partnership with Cascadia International Women’s Film Festival in welcoming Catharine R. Stimpson, Elizabeth Wood and Greta Schiller for “Love Letters”: A Film Premiere and Panel Discussion on Friday, March 8th, 2024 at 7:30PM at Western Washington University’s Performing Arts Center Mainstage.
The 39-minute documentary is a profound story of love and activism between renowned professor, feminist scholar and Bellingham native, Dr. Catharine R. Stimpson and musicologist Dr. Elizabeth Wood at the forefront of the narrative. The film highlights Wood’s landmark legal victory in Australia during the 1970s to gain custody of her children.
In the film, both women, now in their 80s, reflect on their experiences during a time when living authentically, loving apologetically, and fighting for fundamental human rights was considered radical. Motivated by the current younger generation’s noble demonstrations of defiance, Wood and Stimpson will share their story with our community.
Watch the trailer here:
“Love Letters” Trailer (with captions) (youtube.com)
Discussion after Film
The film will be followed by a panel discussion with the Stimpson and Wood and director Schiller. Audrey Sager, CASCADIA Board President whose New York City law practiced focused on matrimonial law, will moderate.
Stimpson is known nationally for her groundbreaking contributions to the study of women and gender. She is a founder of feminist criticism and the feminist journal, Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society. Wood is recognized as one of the pioneers who established new directions in modern musicology in addition to being a novelist.
Tickets are free and available here now for this special event which is open to the public. Contact the WWU PAC Box Office for ticketing questions or phone (360) 650-6146.
