"The Salish Sea" also coincides with "A RIVER STORY."

A dramatic reading, adapted by Anna Linzer and Elizabeth Huddle, of Linzerʼs novel “A RIVER STORY,” a new novel that takes place in Fishtown, a creative settlement of artists, poets, and scholars on the Skagit River beginning in the late 1960s. First performed last summer at Western Bridge in Seattle, this will be only the second staging of “A RIVER STORY.” “River Story,” collaborative artwork by Eli Hansen and Oscar Tuazon, will also be on view through the month of June.
