Roses wilt. Memories with loved ones don’t.
The Puget Sound’s weekly roundup of arts, culture, and community | February 13 to 19, 2026
Love comes in all forms. Whether you are celebrating this Valentine’s Day with your partner, with friends, or on your own, there is a perfect performance to complete your night out.
The bonds of sisterhood.
Observing the day with your girls? Till We Have Faces at Taproot Theatre Company is the perfect show to remind us of the complicated, powerful, and irreplaceable relationship between sisters, whether they are blood-related or found family. With three sisters of my own, this is a show I won’t be missing. If anything can make a person feel better about their mercurial relationships with sisters, it’s Roman mythology (we know how messy they can be).
A Shakespearean romantic comedy.
While Romeo and Juliet may be the first Shakespeare play to come to mind when you think of romance, we have something a little happier for you. A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Union Arts Center offers you and your own love interest a fun romp through the forest. Four lovers face love potions, fairies, and mistaken identities before their happily ever after.
Love and music.
Instead of rewatching Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fall in love (again), you can see a musical that takes inspiration from the same 1937 play as You’ve Got Mail. The story of She Loves Me (playing at Renton Civic Theatre) will be familiar, but the music will add something new to the story of rival shop workers who fall in love through correspondence.
Tomorrow, forget the flowers, chocolates, and cards. Instead, take the day to enjoy live performance while making memories with those you love most. — Ciara
This is a program inviting you to participate in a 40-day practice that will open you to an all-encompassing, blissful love that is effortless.
