EMP|SFM curator Brooks Peck interviews Battlestar Galactica creator/producer Glen Larson and actor Richard Hatch (Apollo). 2:30p.m.- 4:00p.m. Sex, Blood and Cylons: The Re-imagination of Battlestar Galactica In 2004, Battlestar Galactica returned to television, taking the sci-fi world by storm. EMP|SFM curator Brooks Peck leads a discussion with Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore and principal cast members Edward James Olmos, Michael Hogan, Tahmoh Penikett and Kate Vernon.
“This exhibition is the first of its kind for Battlestar Galactica,” says Brooks Peck, curator of the exhibition. “We dig deep into both the original and new series; explore the complex characters and storylines; and offer a unique presentation of props, interactive stations and educational programs that deliver the drama and adventure directly to our visitors.”
"Over its four season run on Syfy, Battlestar Galactica became an iconic series that not only entertained, but fulfilled the promise of all great science fiction. It provoked us into examining our world and ourselves through its politically-charged, socially-relevant, religious and technological themes," said Mark Stern, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, Syfy, and Co-head, Original Content, Universal Cable Productions. "It is an honor for us to partner with EMP|SFM in this one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience BSG in an up-close and personal way."

Blood, Gore, & Zombies... Evil Dead: The Musical To West Seattle
BLOOD, GORE, AND ZOMBIES... THIS AIN’T OKLAHOMA!
ARTSWEST BRINGS THE OUTRAGEOUS EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL TO SEATTLE!
SEATTLE PREMIERE: OCTOBER 20TH – NOVEMBER 13TH, 2010 PRESS NIGHT: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20TH, 2010 - 7:30PM
Seattle, WA (September 14, 2010) –From October 20th through November 13th ArtsWest Playhouse & Gallery presents the Seattle Premiere of Evil Dead: the Musical. Based on the 1980s cult-classic films Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness, Evil Dead: the Musical is a live stage rock musical “rendering” of these great slasher epics. Five college students are on their way to a secluded cabin in the woods when they accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them one-by-one into flesh-eating demons! It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee-turned-demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day! Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell jokes... all is set to a side-splitting musical score including numbers like “Look Who’s Evil Now,” “Ode to an Accidental Stabbing,” “All the Men In My Life Keep Getting Killed By Candarian Demons,” and “Blew That Bitch Away.”
Yup, this is definitely an adults-only show with naughty language and lots and lots of blood. And remember to keep your nice clothes at home if you plan on sitting in the SPLATTER ZONE. Complimentary ponchos will be provided, but there’s no guarantee that front row audience members won’t get soaked with fake blood (don’t worry, it washes out).
For nearly three months the ArtsWest’s creative team has been preparing like mad for this musical gore-fest. Technical director Jill Beasley said, “I knew this show would be a challenge. I had to figure out an affordable way to launch gallons of blood across the stage every night for a whole bunch of performances, so I went and bought about thirty water guns,” Beasley joked. “Needless to say, the West Seattle dollar store is officially sold out of water guns.”
The young cast of actors is also getting pumped up for the musical debut. When asked about Evil Dead, Seattle actor and cast member Kate Jaeger chuckled and replied, “At the first reading I couldn’t stop laughing –the script is hilarious. Plus, I’m a psycho-crazy fan of the Evil Dead trilogy—so playing the role of Annie was pretty much a dream come true.” She added, “I feel so lucky to be working with Chris [Zinovitch] and Kim [Dare] – Evil Dead: the Musical is really everything you could ever possibly want in a horror–movie musical remake!”
“Crypt Keeper” Christopher Zinovitch leads the way as director along with musical director Kim “Trespass If You” Dare. Costumes designed by “Murderess” Margo Walker, set and props designed by “Deadly” Dan Schuy, lighting by Josh “the Ripper” Randall, and sound and effects by Rob “Rigor Mortis” Witmer.
Book and Lyrics for Evil Dead: the Musical are written by George Reinblatt, with music by George Reinblatt, Frank Cipolla, Melissa Morris, Rob Daleman and Christopher Bond.
Tickets for Evil Dead: the Musical may be purchased online at www.artswest.org, by phone at (206) 938-0339, or in person at the ArtsWest Box Office located at 4711 California Avenue S.W, Seattle. $10 tickets available for ages 25 and under. This show is recommended for ages 16 and older.
Performance Schedule: Wednesday-Saturday: 7:30pm; Sunday: 3:00pm Special Late-Night Performances on Saturday, October 30th,11pm & Saturday, November 13th, 11pm.
Press Performance: Wednesday, October 20th, 2010, 7:30 pm. For press tickets contact Lindsay Palmer at lindsayp@artswest.org or by phone at (206) 938-0963 x107.
About ArtsWest: ArtsWest produces artistic events so fiercely compelling that they require conversation, improve the imagination, and promote cultural vibrancy as a core value for the communities of Seattle. ArtsWest is a registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization.

Jet City Comic Show: a one-day comics event for the Pacific Northwest
Seattle proves once again that it is a hotbed for comics writers and artists with the launch of a new convention, the Jet City Comic Show. Jet City will take place September 25, 2010 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall in Seattle, WA.
Seattle, WA - Seattle proves once again that it is a hotbed for comics writers and artists with the launch of a new convention, the Jet City Comic Show. Jet City (www.jetcitycomicshow.com) will take place September 25, 2010 at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall in Seattle, WA.
“We do many shows around the country, but there’s nothing like doing one in your own backyard,” says Eric Reynolds, director of marketing for Fantagraphics Books (www.fantagraphics.com). “We look forward to helping Jet City grow into the kind of show that reflects the wonderful comics scene in the Great Northwest.”
Co-founder James Taylor, publisher of Rorschach Entertainment and an accomplished artist and inker, says he and co-founder Brian Meredith (exhibits director, Emerald City Comicon) saw a distinct need in the region for a program of this kind.
“We felt the Pacific Northwest, Seattle specifically, had the need for a quality one-day show in the fall to help fill the void in the region for both exhibitors and fans,” says Taylor. “Jet City Comics Show will be a laid-back event by comparison to other conventions, a chance for fans to have fun, be entertained, browse through comics and visit with some fantastic artists and writers.”
Featured guests will include Francis Manapul (artist: The Flash, Adventure Comics), Dave Johnson (cover artist: 100 Bullets, Unknown Soldier and more) and Dan Panosian (artist: X-Men Forever). The show will feature a number of prominent local writers and artists, including:
• Peter Bagge (Hate) & Jim Woodring (Frank, Jim)
• Michael Oeming (artist/writer: Powers, Rapture)
• Greg Rucka (writer: Batwoman, Queen & Country)
• Matthew Southworth (artist: Stumptown)
• Shane White (artist/writer: Things Undone, North Country)
• Joshua Ortega (Writer of Gears of War 2, Video Game & Comics)
In addition to comics writers and artists, Jet City will also feature actor Scott L. Schwartz—the “ultimate tough guy.” Trained by wrestling legend Walter “Killer” Kowalski, and most often recognized for memorable movie moments such as beating up George Clooney in Ocean’s 11, Schwartz has also written and directed his own film, Changing Hands (www.changinghandsfilm.com).
The Seattle Center Exhibition Hall is a 36,000-square-foot conference center and is a focal point for the entertainment and cultural scene of Seattle, as well as the home of the Space Needle.
“This show will return us to our roots, focusing on the local comics scene as well as spotlighting creators from outside our region,” says Taylor.
The show will also be working with local charitable organizations, such as the Ronald McDonald House and Children’s Hospital of Seattle.

Jet City Comics Show will take place on September 25, 2010 from 10 am to 6 pm at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall, 299 Mercer St., Seattle, WA.
