Today 9/14/10 I stopped at Tacoma’s Theatre on the Square on my way home from work. This theater is part of the Broadway Center group of theaters including the Pantages and the Rialto. This building had previously housed the Tacoma Actor’s Guild.

Happy Monday 9/13/10! Today I pulled into the University of Washington Tacoma, which is in Tacoma’s historic warehouse district. It’s an older photo, but today’s check in and new place of the day.
This link provides a great deal of information about the historic buildings in this district that houses the University of Washington, Tacoma’s School of the Arts, private businesses, a courthouse and museums (art, history, glass).

This space on Broadway is being used as a set for an indie film called Jesus 4 Less by local filmmaker Sarah Mangum of Aroma Productions. The interior represents a Christian bookstore that in the movie is being run by two atheists.
The space is being used as part of the Spaceworks project that puts temporary art in vacant Tacoma spaces. Check out their website for more art installations.

Today’s place of the day, 9/11/10 is the Tacoma Art Place at 1116 11th Place. While there I took a great photography class and joined! It’s worth checking out their class offerings.
