Stage Show of the Month:
Fools Play Presents: Improv & Dragons
I’m in a new show this month; it’s very excite! In this new show, the Fools (including me) create improvised comedy inspired by transcripts of real Dungeons & Dragons sessions! Every fantasy trope available is skewered by the Fools. Even better, the rivalries and dynamics between players of D&D are also fodder for improvised hijinks. Fools Play Improv & Dragons performs four nights in March! Please roll a twenty-sided die and consult the following table:
• Thursday March 10 at 7:00 pm
• Thursday March 17 at 7:00 pm
• Thursday March 24 at 7:00 pm

Catch the show at the at Tacoma Actors Repertory Theatre (TART) In the Tacoma Armory (enter on the backside of the building, through the chain link fence) at 715 S. 11th Street Tacoma, WA 98405.
Tweeter of the Month:
Kids Write Jokes
One of my favorite things in all the world is the masterful alternate logic used by very young kids when they write jokes. This twitter account compiles the best un-used kid jokes that are submitted to a joke website. They’re all real, and they’re all by kids. Some samples:
Knock knock. Who’s there? A robot A robot who? A scientific one!
Tabletop Game of the Month:
Patchwork
Patchwork is a two-person-only board game wherein both players are trying to create their own quilt from a communal supply of differently-shaped quilt pieces. It’s kind of like Tetris in that you have to figure out how best to build your quilt so that future pieces will fit. But since you’re both working from the same pool, there is a surprising depth of strategy. One of the few games I know where it’s not uncommon to end with negative points, but still win!
