One-Man Show At Gu’s Russell Theatre
Here’s something you don’t see every day: “Man Woman Nun of the Above” at Gonzaga University’s Russell Theatre on Saturday night.
This is a one-man show written and performed by Seattle solo performance artist Kevin Kent. Kent plays three different characters in this one-hour comic piece, including Sister Windy, an art critic who looks suspiciously like a certain nun on TV.
Kent has performed extensively in the United States and Britain. This show has been knocking ‘em dead in Seattle, but you might want to take note of the fact that is recommended for the “adult theater patron.”
Curtain is 8 p.m. Tickets are $6 at the door, and the price includes the Gonzaga University Theater Sports (GUTS) performance immediately following “Man Woman Nun of the Above.” GUTS is an improvisational troupe of Gonzaga students.
‘Faces of America’
Actor Fran de Leon will appear in a one-person show about multiculturalism in two performances next week at Gonzaga University and North Idaho College.
De Leon performs Colin Cox’s play “Faces of America,” which features eight characters representing a different facet of America: African, Asian, Mexican, American Indian, East Indian, European, Happa (mixed blood) and an “all-in-one” Generation X-er.
Cox is the artistic director of Will & Company, which is dedicated to arts in education.
The NIC show is Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Boswell Hall’s Schuler Auditorium. Admission is free.
The Gonzaga show is Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Hughes Hall Auditorium. Admission is $3 to the public, free to the Gonzaga community.
‘Beauty Lou and the Country Beast: A Sagebrush Fairy Tale’
The Cutter Theatre in Metaline Falls presents the Missoula Children’s Theater and 50 local children in a country-western adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast,” titled “Beauty Lou and the Country Beast: A Sagebrush Fairy Tale.”
It’s about Buckaroo Bob, who sets off for the rodeo to win enough money to save the family farm. There, he encounters The Beast.
Showtimes are Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Theatre. Tickets are $3 for children and $5 for adults.
Lee Lessack in cabaret

He is a veteran of numerous musical comedies.
The show begins at 8 p.m. tonight, Friday and Saturday at Dempsey’s, 909 W. First. Tickets are $10 in advance, available by calling 747-5362, or $12 at the door.
