The Seattle Public Theater (SPT) at the Green Lake Bathhouse (7312 West Green Lake Dr N) is kicking off its 2010-11 season with a special pre-sale for Mauritius.  The play, a suspenseful thriller, will be at SPT October 1-31, 2010.

The pre-sale discount is $2 off all preview, opening night, and youth tickets, and $4 off all adult and senior tickets.  This deal is only available through the box office and lasts through 5 p.m. on September 11.  The box office is open Wednesday through Saturday, noon – 5 p.m., and can be reached at (206) 524-1300.

Mauritius is a gripping new play from Theresa Rebeck, the Pulitzer-prize nominated author who’s been called a “female David Mamet.”

Surprisingly, stamp collecting is riskier than one might think.   Jackie and Mary are half-sisters whose mother’s death leaves them in possession of a rare stamp collection. But which sister actually owns the stamps? Which of three dealers can be trusted with their sale?

Directed by Russ Banham, Mauritius stars Mark Fullerton, Heather Hawkins, Joseph P. McCarthy, Carolyn Marie Monroe and John Murray.

On Sunday, September 26, 2010 between 12p.m.- 5 p.m., a street mural will be painted on Stone Ave N between N 80th St and N 81st St, next to Bethany Community Church and across the street from Daniel Bagley Elementary School.

“Lots of work has already gone into this,” says Pennie O’Grady of Sustainable Green Lake. “We are excited to finally share this in a big way!”

Can you help out in the final weeks leading up to the street painting party?

Pennie is asking for help over the next two weeks distributing fliers about the event to neighborhood residences, bulletin boards, and shop windows.  Help is also needed on the day of the event (Sunday, September 26), and possibly the day before.  Volunteers will be asked to help with street preparation, quality control, energy flow guidance, clean up, and other tasks.  “We need many hands,” Pennie says,  “and some extra leadership.”

If you can lend a hand, please contact Pennie O’Grady at pennielink [at] mac.com.

Mayor Mike McGinn’s End Hunger Food Drive is approaching.  On Saturday, September 25, 2010, volunteers across King County will collect food for those in need at participating grocery stores.

From 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., donations will be accepted at the Greenlake PCC (7504 Aurora Ave N).  The food will help feed hungry families, children and seniors in the North Seattle region.

Volunteers are needed from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. to help collect food and distribute it back to the Greenwood Food Bank.  Volunteers will work in three hour shifts. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Erin Pankow at epankow [at] voaww.org or (425) 259-3191 x2251.
