SUMMARY:The Ocean Hates You
DESCRIPTION:Orcas Center Presents on Center Stage:\nThe Ocean Hates You\nSaturday\, July 11 at 7 p.m.\nTiered ticket prices: $70\, $40\, or $25\, ($10 student/senior/veteran tickets available)\n \n\nThe Ocean Hates You\nA former Marine Biologist turned comedian gives a voice to the ocean — and it’s not happy. This comedic and interactive show dives into humanity’s messy relationship with the sea: the pollution\, the overfishing\, the bad decisions and why now more than ever\, it’s time for change. \nPerformed by former marine biologist turned comedian\, Forrest Shaw\, the hour-long presentation combines elements from the two professions to create a unique and humorous perspective on the planet’s oceans. It’s what would happen if a Netflix Comedy Special married a Ted Talk and had an environmentally conscious baby. Each show incorporates multi-media and interactive features including curated video and audience trivia. It’s a sharp\, funny\, and honest look at the chaos we’ve created and the extraordinary life that still manages to thrive beneath the waves. Come laugh\, think and leave more in awe and less of a problem. \nShaw is a stand-up comedian and writer whose career began after spending a decade as a marine biologist in his hometown of Miami\, Florida where he led the Manatee Protection Program and managed large water-quality and habitat-monitoring projects throughout the region. His fieldwork spanned seagrass communities\, coral reef habitats\, and sea turtle nesting\, and he frequently collaborated with state and federal agencies on critical coastal ecosystem studies. As a comedian Forrest has been featured at Netflix Is A Joke Fest\, Moontower Comedy Festival\, Clusterfest\, Just For Laughs Montreal and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival. He’s performed on Conan\, Live From Gotham and Jim JeQeries and Friends and his debut special\, Poor Decisions can be seen on Amazon. \n  \n \n

Saltydog is a funk-jam improvisational exploration that takes the audience and band on a journey through playfully crafted\, folk-driven tunes inspired by everyone from The Talking Heads and The Band to classic country and jam-band staples. The band spawned on the banks of Duluth’s ice-covered stones by brothers Jacob and Owen Mahon. This midwestern psychedelic cowboy revue features Calvin Lund\, Lefty Johnson\, Gavin St. Clair\, and Sam Deters. Their second album Pepper dropped in spring 2024\, and the band is set to release their third album in winter 2026. Also performing is Honey of the Heart\, a Northern California-based band and community collective fronted by singer-songwriters Maren Metke (vocals\, guitar\, ukulele) and Justin Ancheta (vocals\, guitar\, multi-instrumentalist). Formed in 2014\, their genre-blending sound incorporates folk\, soul\, jazz\, and world-flamenco into rich harmonies\, focusing on matters of the heart and aiming to inspire and uplift listeners. Rounding out the evening is Pamwe Marimba\, an eight-piece ensemble of passionate advocates of Zimbabwean marimba music\, with roots in New Mexico\, Colorado\, Oregon\, Washington\, and Montana. Their repertoire ranges from traditional Shona music to original compositions\, each piece a celebration of the marimba’s versatility.
