Duende Libre Trio celebrates the vibrant connections between jazz and music from Cuba, Brazil, and the Mediterranean — and the result is something genuinely transportive. Formed through decades of dedicated apprenticeship with master musicians from around the world, the trio’s empathic on-stage chemistry and eclectic sonic palette set them apart from any ensemble you’ve heard before.
PopMatters describes their music as “full of heart and historical multitudes,” while Wisconsin Public Radio calls it “powerfully alluring.” This is globally inspired jazz with dimension, humanity, and groove — performed live in the intimate Black Box setting.

The Waitress Broadway Tour is coming to Olympia!
Meet Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and rocky marriage. Pouring her heart into her pies, she crafts desserts that mirror her topsy-turvy life such as “The Key (Lime) to Happiness Pie” and “Betrayed By My Eggs Pie.” When a baking contest in a nearby county — and a satisfying encounter with someone new — show Jenna a chance at a fresh start, she must find the courage to seize it. Change is on the menu, as long as Jenna can write her own perfectly personal recipe for happiness.
