“whorehouse”
Those whores are at it again — getting all uppity about being a victimless crime and whatnot. Such is the case at Tacoma Little Theatre as it finishes its season with “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” a look at life and politics surrounding the Chicken Ranch.
[Tacoma Little Theatre, through July 1, 8 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, $18-$22, 210 N. I St., Tacoma, 253.272.2281, www.tacoma littletheatre.com]
“pocahontas”
You probably already know the basics, as told by Disney: Young Native American princess, Pocahontas, falls for handsome English explorer, John Smith, eventually becomes “civilized” and visits the royal court in London. History isn’t clear on the specifics, mainly because the principal accounts of the story were told by John Smith himself, years after the fact, and were likely exaggerated to make Smith look better. Check out Encore! Theatre’s version in Gig Harbor.
[Impact Church International, through July 1, 7 p.m. Friday-Sunday, $6-$15, 4819 Hunt St. N.W., Gig Harbor, 253.858.2282, www.encoretheatre.org]
