In PLAID TIDINGS, The Plaids (Frankie, Sparky, Jinx, and Smudge) from Forever Plaid are transported back from the ethereal cosmos to croon their tight harmonic renditions of musical hits from the ’50s and ’60s. Suddenly, as ordered by a heavenly phone call from Rosemary Clooney, they stage a nostalgic holiday extravaganza for world-weary mortals on Earth. . .including a new episode of “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

Returning for PLAID TIDINGS: John Bartley, Aaron Finley, Ryan McCabe and Daniel Stoltenberg

Directed by Jeff Church (from the Las Vegas cast of Forever Plaid) and Jeannette LeGault, with Music Direction by R.J. Tancioco (Bat Boy).

Food Collection during the run of the show

ArtsWest will be collecting food for The West Seattle Food Bank during the run of PLAID TIDINGS, from December 2-27.

The West Seattle Food Bank works to eliminate hunger in West Seattle, not only providing nutritious food to clients, but also working to eliminate the root causes of hunger by educating clients on nutrition, generating public awareness of hunger in our community and coordinating a range of community services for clients.

There will be a container in the ArtsWest lobby to accept food donations during daytime business hours as well as during performances. Food items that are especially useful are: canned protein items (tuna, peanut butter), baby food and formula, and nutritional supplements, such as Ensure.
