BAAY Presents: Really Rosie @ BAAY Theater | Bellingham | Washington | United States

Really Rosie is a charming musical based on the book by Maurice Sendak and featuring music by Carole King. The story follows a day in the life of the Nutshell Kids, a ragtag group of neighborhood friends. Rosie, an audacious performer, entertains the group by directing and starring in a dramatic movie version of their lives. With direction and choreography by Lisa Markowitz and musical direction by Erica Ewell, Really Rosie showcases a talented cast of performers ages 9-12. Enjoy a full glass of summer sun poured out on the stoop of Rosie’s Brooklyn apartment this May at BAAY! Tickets and more information at baay.org.

Whatcom Literacy Council's TRIVIA BEE @ Virtual or Menace Brewing or The Local Public House

The Whatcom Literacy Council will be hosting the 26th Annual TRIVIA BEE on Thursday, April 28th, 2022, from 6:30 pm to 8 pm.

Ryan Budds of TRIVIA WITH BUDDS is back to bring you a fun and interactive online trivia night akin to Jeopardy! Register your team of three ($75) here: https://whatcomliteracy.org/events or just watch for free.

Scotty VanDryver of KAFE Radio will host this exciting match of wits and brainpower. Teams compete in all four rounds in a range of topics. The winner goes home with the traveling “Totten Trophy.” Because it is a virtual ZOOM event participants can play from anywhere, with answers submitted via cell phone. Last year’s winning team “The Crabpots” had players from Bellingham, Alaska, and Baltimore.

For local residents who would like to meet in person The Local Public House (1427 Railroad Ave, Bellingham, WA) and Menace Brewing (2529 Meridian St, Bellingham, WA) will both be showing the event on big screens. Space is limited so come early to hold your spot; proof of vaccination and masks required.

Be sure to check out our online silent auction the week leading up to the Trivia Bee (April 23rd through April 30th).

All proceeds support the free adult literacy programs of the Whatcom Literacy Council.

Since 1983, the Whatcom Literacy Council has helped hundreds of adults in Whatcom County transform their lives by strengthening their literacy skills with free tutoring and small group classes. Proceeds from the event go directly to programs that help our neighbors here in Whatcom County build skills that help them get jobs and take care of their families.
