My wealth. My priorities.
My partner.
You’ve spent your life accumulating wealth. And, no doubt, that wealth
now takes many forms, sits in many places, and is managed by many advisors.
Unfortunately, that kind of fragmentation creates gaps that can hold your
wealth back from its full potential. The Private Bank can help.
The Private Bank uses a proprietary approach called the LIFE Wealth Cycle SM
to find those gaps—and help you achieve what is important to you.

INTERMISSION
From Broadway to Tacoma, now you’re invited to
share an evening with the woman and her influences
in the musical, A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN.
ABOUT THE SHOW
Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the
music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock & roll. The
unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made
her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock.
Fueled by such unforgettable songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of My Heart,”
“Mercedes Benz,” “Cry Baby” and “Summertime,” a remarkable cast and breakout
performances, A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN, written and directed by Randy
Johnson, is a musical journey celebrating Janis and her biggest musical influences—
icons like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith, who
inspired one of rock & roll’s greatest legends.
