Harlequin Productions Presents Hedda Gabler

A Theatrical Classic Gets a Modern Makeover

Hedda Gabler has returned from an extended honeymoon with her kind but tediously academic husband. Beautiful and self-possessed, but also haunted, she is already bored with marriage. Suffocated by bourgeois society and disdainful of intellectual pursuits, she tries to fulfill her aimless desires by manipulating the fates of those around her…with tragic results. Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler is a fascinating, paradoxical portrait of a woman slipping into despair as her options narrow in a world expanding for both sexes.

Grab your warm winter gear and join WSU’s Native Plant Salvage Project for an exhilarating morning of salvaging small native trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants from forthcoming development sites slated for clearing. Community volunteers work under WSU staff’s direction to recover small plants that are used for revegetation projects to benefit water quality and habitat. The work is done during winter months when plants are dormant and more likely to transplant successfully.

Plant salvage activity occurs between 9:30 a.m. and noon, when hot lunch is served to volunteers. After lunch, volunteers transfer plants to the native plant nursery in west Olympia and put plants in pots until about 3:30 p.m. Events will occur on February 21, March 5 and 13.

No prior experience is necessary, as volunteers are trained on site.

The PSE is seeking funding for a pilot project to install "smart meters" in locations around the Sound, with a goal of putting them in everywhere eventually.  How has it worked out for people who have them?  This film shows some amazing unforeseen complications.  Maybe those meters aren't so smart after all . . .

Shown at MIXX96 Meeting Room, corner of State and Washington in downtown Olympia.  Come enjoy a night at the movies, and bring your buddy. 

This is a fundraiser for the Green Party of South Puget Sound; donation of $5 requested.
