Celebrate the official Grand Opening of BAT’s BALL (Burien Actors Lending Library), a library of more than 1,200 play scripts and theater-related books, on Saturday, Nov. 9.

From 2 to 5 p.m. at Phoenix Tea, the Grand Opening includes a formal ribbon cutting with a Burien City Council member, plus food, drink and great conversation.

Chat with BALL’s librarian and others from Burien Actors Theatre, the nonprofit theater company that put this library together to share with the public. Peruse BALL’s offerings, and explore the tea shop, which also includes an art gallery.

There is no charge to check out a book or script from BALL. Just check out your selection at the cash register. When done, return the book or script to BALL for the next person to borrow. Or sit and read in a cozy spot at Phoenix Tea while enjoying a cup of tea.

Phoenix Tea, whose owners really know their tea, is located in downtown Burien at 447 SW 152nd Street (map below).
