Denny Heck bringing one-man Emmy Award winner Denny “Give Olympia” Heck, who has been starring in a one-man show on state politics to rave reviews for Olympia audiences, is bringing the show to Vancouver, where he got his start as a state representative in the 1970s.

Heck went on to create TVW, the State of Washington’s equivalent of C-SPAN. Heck wrote and directed the documentary on the Washington State Supreme Court, Supreme Justice, for which he was awarded an Emmy. He has written two books, including a mystery, The Enemy You Know. In Our Times Heck plays himself in recounting, with humor, 30 years of politics in Olympia, beginning in 1975. Admission to the show is $25, with all proceeds being donated to the Vancouver School Foundation's Principal’s Checkbook Program.
