Historical Exhibit Opens with Evening Reception
March 6 - "Ansel Adams: A Portrait of Manzanar"

Join us for the historical exhibit opening Friday March 6 in the BPA Gallery!

The Bainbridge Island Historical Museum installs its
award-winning exhibit in the BPA lobby during the run of SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS.

Join us for a reception in the BPA Gallery March 6 for the exhibit opening and a stimulating evening of history, art, food, and friends. The exhibit displays an ensemble of visual representations from the World War II era, including local images and artifacts from the Historical Museum, with selected items on loan from the collections of Frank Kitamoto, Mary Woodward, and David Guterson. Thanks to the passion and generosity of numerous collaborators on BPA's Educational and Community Outreach Program, this exhibit is one of many pre-show and post-show events surrounding BPA's March production. Join the community conversation!

20th Anniversary Season with The EDGE
The EDGE Improv has performed to sell-out crowds regularly at BPA for two decades, and this season marks their 20th anniversary. On the first Saturday of each month, the troupe presents an ingeniously improvised evening of on-the-spot comedy, all from audience suggestions. The troupe's riotous antics have earned a devoted community of followers, and have inspired rave reviews and commentary from audience and troupe members alike.

"The Edge Improv is milk-through-the-nose funny. Really, I'm laughing right now."
