Presented by PACIFIC NORTHWEST BALLET. Epitomizing how things continue even as Elliott Bay is temporarily closed for its move to Capitol Hill is this interim move of PNB's popular, free discussion series to the Sorrento Hotel's lovely Penthouse. PNB Education programs manager Doug Fullington and guests—principal dancers Carrie Imler and Jonathan Parretta—discuss PNB's forthcoming All Balanchine program, which includes Serenade (Balanchine's first American ballet), Square Dance, and Four Temperaments. Free admission. Drinks and light snacks are available for purchase (this is a very convivial setting). The Sorrento Hotel is at 900 Madison Street on Seattle's First Hill. For more information on this program, and on Pacific Northwest Ballet's season/productions, please see www.pnb.org, or call (206) 441-2440.
Start: 7:00 pm
Presented by HEDGEBROOK. Two terrific poets and writers take to the Town Hall stage this spring evening as Hedgebrook presents Staceyann Chin and Mayda del Valle. Jamaica-born Staceyann Chin, who gave a great reading at Elliott Bay a year ago for her marvelous memoir, The Other Side of Paradise (Scribner), will have a new book of essays on race, gender, sexual preference and more, Crossfire (Alyson), out in a few months. Like Staceyann Chin, Mayda del Valle has performed (starred) in Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam. She is also a National Poetry Slam champion performer. This night should be a major delight. Tickets ($15 general/$10 students) and information are available at www.hedgebrook.org. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
