From the beginning of its 50-year history, Whatcom Community College (WCC) has been recognized as an innovator. To celebrate 50 years of excellence and a future of new opportunities, WCC is partnering with the Whatcom Museum to present a college history exhibition at Old City Hall, 121 Prospect Street, Bellingham. The exhibition opens Saturday, March 18 and will remain at the museum through May. It moves to WCC’s campus on West Kellogg Road in June.
Talk to people who worked at the College in the early days – before there was a campus and classes were taught at leased buildings throughout the county – and you’ll hear some unbelievable stories. But WCC, and its graduates, thrived. Today, Whatcom is regarded as one of the nation’s top two-year colleges. This exhibition will engage visitors with “groovy” WCC memorabilia, recorded memories, and opportunities for guests to share their own Whatcom stories. General admission to the museum is $10. Old City Hall is open noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday.

One of the most surprising things about the same sex marriage movement is that, actually, it was carefully planned and orchestrated over decades. The Freedom to Marry is an intimate and epic documentary which goes behind-the-scenes to reveal the inner workings and key players of this historic civil rights battle. This is a riveting ride alongside Evan Wolfson, the man known as architect of the movement, civil rights attorney Mary Bonauto, and their key colleagues as they wage their climactic battle before the United States Supreme Court, providing fresh perspective on the movement’s history along the way. This is a primer for social change, and an inspirational tale of how people can actually make a difference.

Whoever said improv comedy couldn’t be competitive? We’re taking away the warm and fuzzy feelings of collaborating and are fighting for your laughs in Face Off. Our improvisers will enter the proverbial coliseum of comedy to battle against each other with the audience serving as the judge and jury of comedy quality. Your applause will determine the points our players receive in their quest for glory in this high stakes/high energy show! Complete with elimination rounds and competitive improv games, our teams are going to make you laugh until you cry and drink your tears* (okay, half that’s true).
*no slurping of tears will occur on our premises

The pioneering literary work of Virginia Woolf is the inspiration for multi-award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor’s brilliant triptych for The Royal Ballet. McGregor has long been at the cutting edge of ballet, working with collaborators from across the artistic world, and in this critically acclaimed work he combines themes from three of Woolf’s landmark novels – Mrs Dalloway, Orlando and The Waves – with elements of her letters, essays and diaries. Acclaimed British composer Max Richter (Infra, Sum and Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons) creates a specially commissioned score incorporating electronic and live music.

With this follow-up to the smash Edible Inevitable tour, fans can expect all-new everything including songs, multimedia presentations, talk-show antics, and bigger and better, potentially dangerous food demonstrations.

Critics and fans alike have raved about the interactive components of Brown’s shows. He promises “plenty of new therapy-inducing opportunities during our audience participation segments. I don’t want to give too much away, but this time we’re going to play a little game while we’re at it.”
Brown, an award-winning cookbook author, has hosted numerous series, including Cutthroat Kitchen, Camp Cutthroat, and Iron Chef America. He created, produced, and hosted the Peabody award-winning series Good Eats for 13 years on Food Network.
