Get
Out and Play
Hippity hoppity! Amid the colorful
eggs and chocolate bunnies, there's lots going on for families this weekend.
All over the city and surroundings, people will be hunting
eggs. We've found a spot to use your tango toes, a chance to boogie
woogie, a juggling show like no other, a theater experience to remember,
and a kiddo's cooking class that's all about crepes. Plus, Seattle's edgiest
craft show and bazaar, the Punk Rock Flea Market, is going on this Sat.
from 10 a.m. —10 p.m. at Underground Events Center (2407 1st Ave,
Belltown). The event is kid-friendly 'til 6 p.m., when live bands take
the stage.

Pied Piper program continues on Saturday with a show for all ages
from Linda Severt's Juggletunes. Severt balances a guitar on her
chin! She juggles pins while balancing on a barrel! She builds a
drum set with the help of her puppet friend, and then plays it like
the pro studio musician she is. It's a circus, concert, and music
lesson rolled into one big morning.

Better Than TV
A Little Princess at Youth
Theatre Northwest Sara Crewe may be an orphan, and
she may even be banished to the attic of her boarding school, but
her imagination takes her away from that sad situation. With her
friend, the scullery maid Becky, Sara's world is mysteriously transformed
as she conjures stories about everyone around her —her timid
sister, the cold Miss Minchin, and her complex fellow pupils. Based
on the book by Frances Hodsgon Burnett (author, too, of The Secret
Garden), this classic story is filled with magic, hope, and triumph.
