Arts reporter and critic Rosemary Ponnekanti keeps you in touch with the arts and culture scene with the help of other News Tribune writers, critics and editors.
Rosemary Ponnekanti is the arts reporter at The News Tribune, and has been a classical music nerd nearly all her life. Besides spending way too much time in galleries, museums and concert halls, she occasionally brings a whistle or double bass to Celtic jam sessions, and insists on singing "Happy Birthday" in four-part harmony.

OK...there's a catch. In order to get $25 tickets to the musical "Wicked" opening at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on Sept. 2 you'll have to enter a lottery.

Writer Michael J. Vaughn has lived in a lot of places in his time: Maine, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and California, where he now lives. But he spent a few years around Tacoma, and one of his seven novels is, in fact, called "Painting Tacoma." His most recent novel "Outro" (iUniverse.com) is also set locally, and Vaughn is returning to the South Sound this weekend to read and sign it.
Set in a karaoke bar in Gig Harbor, "Outro" includes scenes in the Stadium District, the Museum of Glass, Sumner, the Carr Inlet and Olympia. Vaughn, who also writes for Writer's Digest and as a theater critic in San Jose, will appear at 1 p.m. on Aug. 29 at Gig Harbor's Mostly Books (3126 Harborview Dr., Gig Harbor, 253-851-3219) and 7 p.m. on Sept. 1 at the Anna Lemon Wheelock Library in Tacoma's Proctor District (3722 N. 26th St., Tacoma, 253-591-5666) presented by the UW-Tacoma Bookstore.
