This unique production at historic Old City Hall consists of two one-acts. THE SOUND WE MAKE, set in Tacoma, finds three homeless locals coping with the loss of a street legend; a play about what was lost, what is acquired, and what can be saved. WHITEOUT traps a young traveler with no past and an old caretaker with nothing but in a snowbound motel. Ghosts and myth collide with cold reality in this haunting play. Sponsored by Northwest Playwrights Alliance and the Tacoma Arts Commission.
