Welcome to Hellingham, where everyone is as silly as they are suspect! Our cast of improvisers will take inspiration from the audience to create their character, drawing from the Bowl of Fate to find out if they will be witness, kill, or be killed. Only the improviser knows their character’s fate, until it is revealed on stage! Join us for our fan favorite improvised murder mystery, Sept. 27 – Nov. 2, with two special shows on Halloween.

*We are an all-ages venue. We aim for a PG rating unless otherwise stated. This show is improvised so we cannot guarantee an exact content rating.

Jenner Fox Band
2024-10-24 19:30 - 21:00 | Lucas Hicks Auditorium
There is something that happens inside a good song. A tootsie roll can take you back to your elementary school playground; a list of baby names becomes a prayer; the voice of a toothless refrigerator man reminds you to say I love you. Jenner Fox tells the stories of people and places with unparalleled compassion and respect. His artful tone, poetry, and fluency on his guitar do something only the brave ones do: let us in.
Jenner combines the lyricism of Joni Mitchell and the commentary of Neil Young to represent the next generation of singer-songwriters. Grammy nominated producer, Cookie Marenco
Since their conception on an experimental cargo bicycle tour through California in 2021, the Jenner Fox Band has delighted audiences up and down the west coast. The five piece band features pacific northwest all-star musicians on piano, organ, electric guitar, bass, dobro, acoustic guitar, and layered vocal harmony.
Schmid & Guest will open the show.
Cayley Schmid and Aaron Guest met at the Bellingham Farmers Market in 2009. Desperately jealous of each other’s busking success, they neutralized the competition and started a band together. This was the beginning of a decade-long musical partnership that descended into marriage. After the retirement of their band, Polecat, in 2020 Aaron and Cayley found themselves musically unsupervised by their bandmates for the first time. Together they play instrumental Celtic music on fiddle and piano.

Jenner Fox Band is the rare act that comes along and doesn’t sound like anybody else. They are not to be missed. Jim Goodwin, Jive Radio DJ

Mama's Broke
2024-09-18 19:00 - 21:00 | Lucas Hicks Auditorium
Mama’s Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy. Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere.
Their two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies, while they artfully juggle fiddle, banjo, guitar and mandolin, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original -and often dark- compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre. Drawing from old-time, Quebecois, blues, punk, celtic, balkan and doom metal, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new.
Sept 18th: Mama’s Broke @ 7:00 pm, $22 Adv, $25 Day of Show

Improv Jam
2024-09-17 18:00 - 19:30 | Ethos West Stage
The sweet sweet jam that can actually help you “unstick” your creative flow! Kind of an un jamming jam? Isn’t it so weird that Jam Bands are basically ever-flowing nonstop musical noodling but actual jams are either solidified fruit goo or places where logs or traffic come to a stand still?
Why’s that a thing?
Circling back though- 1st and 3rd Tuesday improv Jams are more like the flowing noodley kind of jams- where everyone can play and learn from each other. “Improv like no one is watching” 6-8pm. Show up and Jam!

$5 at the door.
