‘War Horse’ in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — The National Theatre of London’s production of “War Horse,” co-starring life-size equine figures by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Co., will screen at the Rose Theatre three times this month.

The theatrical hit, the story of a boy and his horse during World War I, will be shown at 11 a.m. this Sunday and on two Saturdays, April 12 and 19.

Storynight on tap

PORT TOWNSEND — First Friday Storynight is back at Better Living Through Coffee, 100 Tyler St., from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tonight [April 4].

Join the Mythsinger Foundation, hostess Aimée Ringle and Bellingham’s own bard, Harper Stone, for another evening of “spitfire, ants-in-your-dance stories.”

There is a suggested donation of $10, but no one will be turned away.

This monthly event explores the art and ritual of the oral tradition: sharing the old myths, folk tales and fairy tales along with more modern stories and personal sharings.

There is also an open-mic portion of the evening for audience members to share their short stories, songs, dances and poems.

For more information, phone 360-531-4395.
