  Could a streetcar be the key to reviving downtown Seattle's arts and entertainment scene?

  Downtown Seattle has the Seattle Art Museum, the Paramount, the symphony, and some other theaters and galleries. But it hasn’t been the center of Seattle’s arts scene for a long time. Now, with downtown struggling economically, Mayor Bruce Harrell has been talking about a new arts and entertainment district downtown. He says he wants to put a streetcar right down the middle of it.

Even so, I left the theater impressed by the work of Andrew Lee Creech, and convinced he is a playwright with a big future.

  Get ready for sword fights and quarterstaffs as Robin Hood swashbuckles in Seattle's backyard

  Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor in Village Theatre’s production of "Sherwood: The Adventures of Robin Hood," now playing in Issaquah with a run next month at Village Theatre in Everett.
