Page A-18 — Shelton-Mason County Journal — Thursday, Jan. 13, Harlequin postpone Staff report news@masoncounty. com Harlequin Productions in Olympia is postponing further production until March because of the surge in COVID-19. “Murder for Two” is now scheduled for. March 11 to April The production initially planned for that peri- od, “Samuel Beckett’s Endgame,” has been canceled. “We realize that producing work in the middle of r a surge like this new wave would be dangerous and next to impossible,” Harlequin Productions Artistic Director Aaron Lamb said. “We have hopeJhat this will pass quickly and we will be able to produce work on a regular basis moving forward. Our community has been too long .without real live theater. We hope that we can get back to it shortly.” Harlequin will contact subscribers and single- ticket holders. Their tickets will be moved to the cor- responding new dates in March. The box office will reissue and mail new tickets by Feb. 1. If ticket hold- ers in the first four weeks need to reschedule, contact the box office at boxoffice@harlequinproductions.org or by phone at 360-786-0151. Easiness hours are s productions until March Tuesdays through Fridays, noon to 5:30 p.m. The March run of “Murder for Two” will shorten from five to four weeks. Patrons with tickets for the fifth week of “Murder for Two” or for tickets to “End-i, game” will be contacted and asked to either complete an online form, whose options will include a full re- fund, or contact the box office directly. Patrons are asked to respond by March 1, after which their tick- ets will be automatically refunded. “Murder for Two” is a murder mystery musicaI see HAFll.EQUIN, page A—19 .

In “The Mandalorian,” we saw how Boba took Fennec in after she’d been seeks to learn their ways, and even or- - ganizes them to fight back against hos- tile interlopers in their territory. , We see that a man who almost died alone, unmourned and unloved, has ' opened himself up to a culture that’s completely alien to him, in the hopes so merciful in the position. my carer. She cares, so I don’t have to.” One of the biggest mysteries is not only-why Boba Fett even wants the hassle of becoming the new crime lord that everyone else is bound to take shots at, but also why he’s trying to be a better order within a world of in- nate lawlessness, and if so, for what reasons? Whatever ends Boba Fett is working toward, watching him claw and grasp his way toward them is as fascinating as watching a coyote learn how to walk left for dead in the desert, mirroring his own rescue by the Tuskens, and what’s ' great about how Ming-Na Wen plays Fennec Shand is that she’s essentially a more savvy, but also more impulsive, version of who Boba used to be. She is absolutely ready to throw down against anyone at any time, no matter how badly they might appear to have her outmatched. Temuera Morrison as Boba Fett _ is a different story. Not only has his time spent stewing in the stomach of the Sarlacc clearly left him with some lingering physical ailments, but it also seems to have affected a significant shift in his outlook. Boba remains a rogue at heart, but from the moment he first gains a mea- sure of acceptance by the Tuskens, he- of gaining What? A family? A tribal identity? A_ home? Neither the show nor Morrison’s performance have revealed that yet. .. Likewise, as an aspiring crime boss, , what’s remarkably well-rendered is how much Boba Fett, former lone-wolf bounty hunter, is catastrophically terri- ble at the “organized” part of “organized crime” thus far.»Boba has sound in- stincts for riding herd over a relatively small crew, but as someone whose pre- vious relationships were 100% transac- tional, a neat detail is how much Boba relies on Fennec to be his social trans— lator, helping him keep straight the complex web of all the competing play— ers and their possible motives.
