ArtsWest switched up its plans for the “I Am Season” and changed up its selection for the final show.
Originally, the theatre in West Seattle was set to bring “Kiss of the Spider Woman” to stage for its closing production.
Instead ArtsWest decided to go out with a bang—and with some jazz and rock and roll.
John Cameron Mitchell’s “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and Lanie Robertson’s “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” are presented together in rotating repertory under the title “Practical Questions of Wholeness.”
Both pieces examine how identity can be shaped by music and a career in the arts. The two plays are essentially one-person shows, focusing the attention on one actor and with the bands providing back-up characters.

Most mornings, David “DJ” Johnson can be found riding his electric bike to work. He travels the 13 miles trek in about 45 minutes and says it’s often the best part of his day.
“It’s meditative, just being able to ride and embrace the day,” he said.
And biking home is an ideal way to decompress. “After a long day at work and a long ride home, I still have energy to help with the dishes,’” he said.
That’s because the electric bike gives him a boost when he wants one, making the ride less exhausting. Riders still pedal, Johnson explains, but the motor augments the effort, making Seattle’s hills less daunting.
Commuting on his electric bike has been a game-changer, Johnson said. He’s been hooked on the mode of transportation since he started working at Electric and Folding Bikes Northwest, 4810 17th Ave NW in Ballard, in 2009.
