SUMMARY:John Morreall\, humor scholar and artist\, to headline Burien reception on Saturday\, Feb. 21
DESCRIPTION:An artist known for blending philosophy and humor will be featured at an Artist’s Reception at Burien’s Humble Vine on Saturday\, Feb. 21\, 2026\, from 5 to 8 p.m. \nJohn Morreall\, vice president of Artists United of South King County\, retired to the area four years ago and lives in Normandy Park. He has devoted much of his retirement to painting\, focusing on humorous imagery\, an extension of his academic career in aesthetics and the philosophy of humor. \nMorreall launched the serious study of humor with his 1983 book Taking Laughter Seriously and has since published five additional books. As a consultant\, he has delivered more than 600 seminars and presentations on the benefits of humor for business\, health care and educational groups. His clients have included AT&T\, IBM and the IRS\, and his work has taken him across the United States and Canada\, through much of Europe and to Japan\, China and South Africa. \n“Now that I’m retired\, I can practice what I preach by putting more humor into my painting\,” Morreall said\, describing his current focus on painting various kinds of humor ranging from playful fantasy to political satire. \nIn the last two years\, Morreall has concentrated on the comic possibilities of Sasquatches\, creating 41 paintings in a series he calls “Sasquatch Scrapbook.” Ten of those works are currently on display at Humble Vine. When the series reaches 50 paintings\, Morreall said he plans to seek a publisher. \nOne additional work\, titled Undocumented\, is included in the annual juried show at the Collective Visions Gallery. \nLearn more about Morreall at: \n\nhttps://www.humorworks.com/index.php\nhttps://www.artistsunitedclub.com/john-morreall.html\n\nPhotos\n“In Memoriam”\n“So Far\, So Good”\n“Look Who’s Talking”\n“Size 24\, Wide”\nHumble Vine is located at 824 SW 152nd Street in Olde Burien:

SUMMARY:BAT Theatre's 'Rossum’s Universal Robots' continues through Mar. 8
DESCRIPTION:BAT Theatre’s production of “Rossum’s Universal Robots” (R.U.R.) continues through Mar. 8\, bringing a century old satire about artificial intelligence to south King County audiences. \nWritten in 1920 by Karel Čapek\, R.U.R. explores a future in which robots free humans to pursue “things such as perfecting themselves rather than toiling long days just for bread.” The play is widely regarded as a cautionary tale about technology and humanity. \nIn promotional materials\, BAT Theatre describes the production as a sharp witted and provocative work with “eerie relevance to today’s AI boom.” \n“AI is on the rise. Written in 1920\, this brilliant satire examines what could happen when robots free humans to pursue “…things such as perfecting themselves rather than toiling long days just for bread. With sharp wit\, provocative ideas\, and eerie relevance to today’s AI boom\, Čapek’s prescient masterpiece is a cautionary tale for all.” \nPerformance Schedule/Location\nPerformances are on Friday and Saturday nights\, as well as Sunday afternoon\, and continue through Sunday\, Mar. 8\, 2026. \n\nFriday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. (NOTE: there will be no performances on Friday\, Feb. 20 and Friday\, Feb. 27).\nSunday performances start at 2 p.m.\nShow run time is approximately two hours with an intermission.\n\nAll student tickets are always $5. Additionally\, if ticket prices are a barrier\, please email info@BATtheatre.org.
