If Men Could Get Pregnant, Abortion Would Be a Sacrament.

One of the best subjects for humor in life as in comedy is hypocrisy. One of the most embarrassing situations for politicians, espousing the right-wing social agenda, is the behavior of their children, which can seriously derail their careers.

Fail Better—Beckett As a Circus Act

/

The UMO Ensemble gave themselves the task of discovering the essence of Beckett by focusing on his prose. The results are up and running at the ACT Theatre downtown. Written by Maria Glanz and Lyam White and directed by Elizabeth Klob, UMO found the genius both in Beckett and themselves. The mash-up sparkles.

Of all the Army bases in all the World, why’d you have to end up in Ft. Riley, Kansas

Tea, a play by Velina Hasu Houston, opened this weekend at Dukesbay Theater in Tacoma. Taking place in 1968, it tells the story of five Japanese women who came to the U.S. after World War II as “War Brides.” Unfortunately, these married “lifers” ( soldiers who stayed in the army after the war for 20 years). As a result, they all ended up at the infamous place all servicemen avoid: Ft. Riley, Kansas.

5 by Beckett

/

Deep in the bowels of the ACT Theatre Building lies the Eulalie Scandiuzzie Space. Herein, the Central Heating Lab and Sound Theater Company are presenting five short one acts by Samuel Beckett as part of the Seattle Beckett Festival. The quality of the pieces varies wildly from focused takes on Beckett’s grim and incomprehensible world to some meandering drama with shaky acting. Fans of Beckett, opening night had nearly a full house, should find the trip worth it.

Beckett’s Endgame Heads 2 One Acts

/

Endgame refers to that part of a chess game when most of the pieces have been captured. For Beckett, this play is set in the bleakest of futures when most of the Earth’s resources and human populations are depleted. Kasia Rozanska’s scenic design of gray walls with pealing paint and smudges gives us the impression of being inside the crumbling mansion of a wealthy survivalist.

One of the delights of Annex Theater is their “off night” productions, taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday nights; the current Off Nighter, Horse Girls by Jenny Rachel Weiner, is no exception.
