Theatrical insanity: See the Glacier Peak Drama Club put on “The Greek Mythology Olympiaganza” on Friday and Saturday in Snohomish. It’s a bit hard to explain, so we’ll let them do it. “Two battling narrators attempt to cover the entirety of Greek mythology using audience participation, cross-dressing, and general theatrical insanity. … Culminating in a bizarre, musical dance-influenced version of The Iliad complete with a full-scale battle of little green army men, this play is wild, silly, and a complete blast for audiences.” Get more info and tickets here.

Shop: The Arlington Garden Club’s Holiday Garden Arts &Crafts Sale is 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Gleneagle Golf Course Clubhouse, 7619 E. Country Club Dr., Arlington. There will be hand-made items available for sale, as well as food and drink. Get more info here.
