Tahoma High School is presenting the musical Water for Elephants April 30, May 1–2, and May 7–9, 2026. Tickets are available at www.tahomadrama.org. This is a great opportunity to support local student performers and enjoy a beloved story brought to life on stage right here in our community.
The International Examiner’s May 2026 Arts Calendar highlights visual arts exhibitions, performing arts events, films, and literary programming across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. While the calendar features numerous Seattle-area venues and events celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage—including exhibits at Gallery B612, Wing Luke Museum, and Seattle Art Museum—the content is primarily regional and national in scope, with minimal direct relevance to Maple Valley residents.
The University of Washington’s ArtSci Roundup highlights May 2026 events across arts, sciences, and humanities—including exhibitions, lectures, music performances, and public talks. While most events occur in Seattle, they’re university-focused and not specific to Maple Valley. However, some online lectures on topics like the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Seattle or environmental issues may interest regional audiences seeking cultural enrichment beyond their immediate community.
