Wow! The girl can sing, she can act, she has charisma.
After catching a recent showing of the Skagit Valley College Department of Theatre’s production of “Evita,” I couldn’t help but once again notice the star power of 20-year-old SVC graduate Ash Henning, as she flirted, swooned and tangoed her way through the part of the hallowed former First Lady of Argentina, Eva Peron.
Henning is one up-and-coming local actress to watch.
I first noticed her potential…

Ahhhh, a breath of fresh air has swept over Skagit County's theater arts landscape, along with fishnets, wild hair and makeup, a campy storyline and a fair share of raunch.
It's about time.

Well, they’re back at it. Reminiscent of congressional committee hearings in 1985 featuring the then-Sen. Al Gore’s wife, Tipper, lawmakers are once again flexing their political muscle and demanding that the music industry stop selling music that contains misogynistic, violent and offensive language.
The hearings are part of the fallout of the Don Imus debacle earlier this year, when the popular radio show host uttered several derogatory terms in reference to the Rutgers women’s basketball…
