| Out & About | | 'How to Write a New Book for the Bible' is a celebration of family | Don’t let the title or subject matter behind the Seattle Repertory Theatre’s latest production, “How to Write a New Book for the Bible” scare you.
The play based on a diary that playwright Bill Cain kept while caring for his mother during her final illness. Many of us baby-boomers have recently or will soon be dealing with our aging parents’ final days and so may be inclined to shy away from a play dealing with material that sounds too morbid or close to unpleasant realities. Fight the urge.

| Songwriters in Seattle a musical battalion on the move | “There was music in the cafes at night / and revolution in the air.”
That line from Bob Dylan’s “Tangled Up in Blue” always reminds me of the University District in the ‘60s and ‘70s, when folk music blasted out of such forgotten hovels as the Pamir House and The Last Exit on Brooklyn, and you might hear the Rev. Gary Davies beneath Roosevelt at the University Friends Center, or an impossible combination of jazz musicians and folk singers across the University Bridge at the Llahngaelhyn.
