We Will Rock You at The 5th Avenue July 8–13 We Will Rock You is the smash rock musical based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton. The story takes place in a future age on a planet once called Earth that is now controlled by a mighty corporation. Globalization is complete. Individuality is taboo. Everyone watches the same movies, wears the same clothes, and thinks the same thoughts. Music is generated by the corporation's comput- ers, rock music is unheard of, and all musical instruments are banned. The hope of breaking free rests with an unlikely resistance—an alliance of rebel Bohemians waiting for a hero to lead the battle to bring the power of rock back to the people. With 24 of Queen's biggest hits, the show has been an audience-favorite since opening in London's West End in 2002. It's making its 10th anniversary world tour and first appearance in Seattle.

Knowing how to paint with light can make the difference between photos that are ordinary and extraordinary. Midway in the class will be a break for you to snap photos in and out- side the Club. When we regroup, email your favorite photo to Ron and it will be seen on the big screen to discuss and cri- tique. If you bring a digital camera or can't email, bring a USB adapter. The final part of the class is a photo contest. You'll have three weeks to put into practice what you learned, then send Club Programs your favorite photo. These photos will then be shared with your classmates to vote on. The top three will appear on the WAC's Facebook page for everyone to enjoy.

Little Shop of Horrors at ACT Theatre Through June 15 This co-production of The 5th Avenue Theatre and ACT is a delightfully demented comedy of hapless lovers, Seymour and Audrey, and a most unusual plant. The campy musical is based on the 1960s cult film, and blends doo-wop, rock, and Motown into a hilarious send-up of B-movie horror flicks. Seymour is a florist's clerk, who buys and nourishes a Venus flytrap-like plant, which he names after his beloved co-worker Audrey. Things start to get out of hand when the plant develops an insatiable appetite for human flesh. The memorable score includes the title song plus, "Skid Row (Downtown)," "Somewhere That's Green," "Dentist!" and "Suddenly, Seymour."
