You'll laugh, you'll dance, and you'll have a hard time forgetting the frenzied, side-splitting performance of the improv theater troupe that hits the stage regularly at the Blue Door. This group originally began in Seattle but fortunately, for audiences in Spokane, they now make their home at the Blue Door. The venue is intimate, as it only seats 65 audience members, but before the evening is over, you'll be laughing along with 65 of your closest friends!
The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist is a stunning display of architecture, history and spirituality. This South Hill landmark features Gothic-style design made in sandstone which was completed in 1969. When you step inside, you will be immediately struck by the stained-glass windows that all feature various Biblical scenes, as well as the various carvings inside that illustrate the history of the church. Tours are offered four days a week, but if you decide to take the tour on Thursday, you will also be able to hear the awe-inspiring sound of the cathedral's weekly 49-bell carillon concert.
