It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Dec. 2-11
Fridays and Saturdays – 7:30pm
Sundays – 3pm

Tickets:
General Admission – $15

GAC presents: Great Britain and the European Union, Thurs., Nov. 17

November 17, 2016 by Leave a Comment

euThe U.S. Presidential election, the vote in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, what do they have in common? **And which  is it:  Great Britain or United Kingdom?

Join the GAC for Great Britain and the European Union this Thurs., Nov. 17 from 7-8:30 p.m. in the PUB Quiet Dining Room (9208). With guests:

Robin Twyman, Consul (Business and Government Affairs), United Kingdom, Seattle Office
Phillip Shekleton, Lecturer, Foster School of Business, University of Washington

The historic vote that took place on June 23 in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) has generated uncertainty about Great Britain’s future, that of Europe, and about the post-1945 global order. Does this historic referendum signal that Britain has chosen to retreat into a “Little England” status, or does it signal a desire to redefine its role on the world stage? Join us for a lively discussion of developments in Great Britain and their implications for European unity and the “special relationship” between Great Britain and the U.S.

Additional support provided by the Center for Global Studies, Henry M. Jackson School
of International Studies, UW.
