The Columbia City Cinema Presents:
From Reel to Real
A monthly event series featuring local performers
Seattle—Back in December, the popular Columbia City Cinema was faced with impending
closure due to a missing sprinkler system and the inability to sell stock. Cinema owner, Paul
Doyle, got creative and found a legal solution that saved the Cinema.
Ready to celebrate, Paul got creative again and came up with From Reel to Real. “We had so
many friends from the community offer their talents to help keep the cinema going strong, that I
decided it was time for us to put on a show and celebrate our accomplishment.”
So, on the third Wednesday of the next four months, the Columbia City Cinema presents
From Reel to Real, a live event series that features some of Columbia City’s most talented
performers. The series will be held at the historic Rainier Valley Cultural Center (3515 Alaska
@ Rainier), a beautiful 250-seat venue right across the street from the Cinema.
The line-up includes a tantalizing night of burlesque, featuring Whisper De Corvo, Madisun
Avenue, Fosse Jack, and Scandal from Bohemia (February 16), The Vagina Monologues as
performed by the New Amerikan Theatre (March 16), an evening with best-selling author Garth
Stein (April 20) and a night of standup humor with legendary comedian John Keister and friends
(May18).
Doors open at 7:00pm, shows start at 7:30pm. Tickets $12 in advance and $18 at the door or all
four shows for $40. Tickets may be purchased at the Cinema box office (Daily 1-7pm, 4816
Rainier Ave S) or through www.BrownPaperTickets.com
The events are co-sponsored by SeedArts, a local arts organization that operates the Rainier
Cultural Center and supports Columbia City Gallery. For more information call the Cinema at
