‘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.

While it’s not as costly as London, “War Horse” isn’t inexpensive: Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors 62 and older and $16 for children.

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.

Ringle and Stone swap seats as teller and musical accompanist throughout the evening.

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.
