Catch Me If You Can tells the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a world-class con artist who passed himself off as a doctor, a lawyer and a jet pilot all before the age of 21. With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty on Frank’s trail, we’re off on a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase as a jazzy, swinging-sixties score keeps this adventure in constant motion. In the end, Agent Hanratty learns he and Frank aren’t so different after all, and Frank finds out what happens when love catches up to a man on the run.

The Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center is honored to have University of Washington professor Josephine Ensign discuss the socio-economic complexities of homelessness on Thursday, May 8, 7-9 PM.
Loss of a home due to financial difficulties, divorce, illness, or natural disasters like wildfires is a growing problem. Often seen as an urban issue, homelessness also affects suburban and rural areas in Washington State. What are the historical roots of homelessness, and what lessons can we learn? What does home mean to us, and how can we apply these meanings to address homelessness in our communities? Author and professor Josephine Ensign leads a values clarification exercise with individual writing time. She shares her research on the history of homelessness in Seattle and discusses what these stories teach us about the current crisis throughout our state and country.
This lecture is free to everyone. Pre-registration is recommended.

The Mini Quest Tavern presents "The Arcane Rift"
2025-05-09 19:00 - 21:30, 2025-05-10 19:00 - 21:30 | Numerica PAC, 123 N Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
The Mini Quest Tavern is a scripted play, with costumes, props, sound, and projections to help the audience imagine the locations in the story as the performers move through the room. There is a funny “DM” or Dungeon Master who tells the story, introduces non-player characters and presides over the action and decisions being made. His word is law, but if you are familiar with the “Dungeons and Dragons” rule book, don’t expect this show to contain all the detailed rules and mechanics used in normal tabletop roleplaying.
We have a whole campaign, and multiple combat encounters planned to complete in under two hours. We are here to entertain and make you laugh and cheer. Our simplified rule set is geared for the enjoyment of complete novice and experienced player alike.
The show is not for small children, but great for teens and adults. Tickets are restricted to ages 10 & up.
There are two types of tickets. The VIP Player tables will choose the hero who will be their avatar in the show from a selection of ten different characters. They will be given character sheets for their hero, and the player tables will then work together to make choices when they are presented, and roll dice to use their talents and skills in battle.
General Admission ticket holders will sit at separate tables and will have the opportunity to help name characters and places, and vote on the paths the story will take.The hero characters do not have scripts. They improvise their actions, reactions, battles and dialogue with the help of the players who tell them what to do. There are 14 talented local actors in this production.
Many fans of our show enjoy attending in costume. This is welcome but not required.

Starting at 6 PM, this program will begin with a 15-20 minute lecture by Professor Hart, followed by Kozina’s live musical accompaniment to the screening. Afterwards, there will be a short Q&A session where guests can ask questions to both Hart and Kozina.
Admission is $5 for members AND students, and $7 for non-members. Pre-registration is recommended. Beverages for sale, including beer and wine for those 21+. Popcorn will be provided.

Documentary Screening: Han, Intergenerational Trauma and Collective Identity by Cymone Van Marter at Confluence Gallery
2025-07-08 18:30 - 20:00 | The Confluence, 104 Glover Street South, Twisp, WA, 98856, United States
Twisp, WA — Confluence Gallery is proud to host an evening screening of Han, Intergenerational Trauma and Collective Identity, a thesis documentary by Cymone Van Marter, a Liberty Bell High School graduate. The event will take place on Tuesday, July 8, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Confluence Gallery and is free and open to the public. Due to the nature of the historical content, a 13+ age range is advised.
Van Marter recently completed her Bachelor of Arts in Film and Television and East Asian Studies with an emphasis in Korean Language and Culture, with a minor in Spanish. Her 25-minute documentary, Han, explores a uniquely Korean cultural concept born from centuries of war, colonization, and collective struggle. Through powerful interviews and curated historical archives, she investigates how this inherited emotion continues to shape South Korean identity today.
“My goal was to present Korean history and identity in a way that feels approachable and educational for an American audience,” Van Marter said. “Han is unfamiliar to many in the West, but understanding it opens a window into the broader human experiences of trauma, resilience, and cultural inheritance.”
Light snacks and refreshments will be provided. Seating is first come, first served. Attendees are advised that the film contains historical material that may be triggering for some.
Join us at Confluence Gallery for this thought-provoking and timely film event.
