Bringing more voices to the theater ACT adjusting focus, mission

By Laura Marie Rivera Contributing writer
Just like other theaters in Seattle, A Contemporary Theatre had to adjust the way it did business during the pandemic. Now, under the guidance of ACT artistic director John Langs and others, ACT is adjusting further to open the theater up to more voices. During the shutdown, ACT closed its doors to audiences, but now Langs and administrators are welcoming community members back into the theater. “We are building community through the art we make,” Langs said. Before starting at ACT, Langs worked in theaters all across the country. In the Pacific Northwest, he has worked with Washington Ensemble Theatre, Seattle Shakespeare Company and ACT. He now resides in Magnolia with his wife and daughter. “The national landscape of the theater is changing,” Langs said.

Boy Scout holiday tree lot moving to Seattle Pacific campus By Jessica Keller
QA&Mag News Editor After hosting its annual Christmas tree lot in the Safeway parking lot at the top of Queen Anne for many years, the local Boy Scout troop is moving its operations to lower Queen Anne and the Seattle Pacific University campus. The Boy Scouts were notified they would have to move their annual tree lot fundraiser somewhere else once construction for the new Safeway and housing complex on top of Queen Anne began, and the local troop spent more than a year finding a suitable location. “We got a plane, and we scoured Queen Anne from the air and looked for any lots that might be open,” Scoutmaster Jeff Coombs said. They were unable to find any open locations on the top of Queen Anne, but they were put in touch with Seattle Pacific Library representatives about the possibility of setting up shop on campus. After further discussion and a campus visit, the two parties agreed the Boy Scouts Christmas tree lot would take place in the Emerson Hall parking lot, next to West Nickerson Street. The cross streets are West Nickerson
