Monday Night Marsh: Storytelling + Q&A (The Marsh)

The program prides itself in sharing personal stories and unique experiences of all types, with a goal of amplifying the voices of our community. It is crucial, now more than ever, to share your story. Local celebrities like Josh Kornbluth, Marga Gomez, Irma Herrera, Diane Barnes, and so many others got their start on Monday Night Marsh. Every Monday (unless it's a holiday), we feature 3 people who perform up to 20 minutes of their (work-in-progress) piece. Each group performs twice in a month. After each show, we do a Q&A with the audience and performers, which allows for the opportunity to give and receive any feedback. You can watch in person, or stream via zoom for free.

So long, Home + Work - My Edmonds News

For most of my life, I've been chasing home and never really finding it. I'd look for it in my mom's childhood bedroom, her blue carpet holding my big dreams (and endless questions) as I spent summers with my grandparents and cousins. I'd look for it wherever my parents' jobs took them, always following a promotion or the promise of easier access to family.

The Look Book Goes to the Ticket Line for Shakespeare in the Park

My daughter and I got into the park at 5:30 a.m., and it's been fun. The woman to my right gave me her newspaper to read when she was finished. And my daughter was talking to this guy whose daughter brought a dozen doughnuts and then, all of a sudden, we had doughnuts, too. In past years, some of the guys from the bodegas would come over with menus. I had bacon and eggs in a bagel delivered.
