Salsa dancing, music, comedy scheduled on Peninsula

This Easter weekend is relatively quiet in terms of live entertainment, but there will be some salsa dancing, live music and a bit of comedy at North Olympic Peninsula venues.

Here’s a cross-section.

• The Out Loud Story Slam is open tonight to storytellers and listeners at Studio Bob, 118½ E. Front St., Port Angeles.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. slam, a friendly competition for people telling true personal stories.

This slam’s theme is “fools,” so tellers are encouraged to interpret that however they choose in five minutes or less.

Admission is $10 and more information can be had by emailing olypen storyslam@gmail.com.

• Key City Public Theatre’s “Around the World in Less Than 80 Days” opens tonight for a four-week run.

The story, written by Seattle actor and playwright David Natale, follows journalists Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland as they race around the globe.

Maggie Jo Bulkley, Brendan Chambers, Christa Holbrook, Tomoki Sage and Natale himself portray numerous characters in this first KCPT show in two years.

For tickets and showtimes, see keycitypublic theatre.org or phone the box office at 360-385-5278.

Along with guest Bobby Winstead, the vocal harmonies, country and bluegrass pour out from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

• Salsa Night happens this Saturday at Studio Bob, upstairs at 118 ½ E. Front St., Port Angeles.

Dance instructor Abby Bohman will give 30 minutes of instruction and warmup; then she’ll turn up the music, dim the lights and invite everybody to dance, salsa and otherwise.
