The Bishop’s Wife-Live Radio Show

/

Angels rush in where fool’s fear to tread.

On the first weekend of Advent, Taproot Theatre opened their Christmas show, not only with an original adaption, by director Karen Lund, of the heartwarming 1949 Live Radio Play, The Bishop’s Wife, but with the Dicken’s Carolers greeting the prospective audience, and the public, on the sidewalk outside the theatre. In terms of Live Radio, Taproot got everything right, in addition to the play, there were hilarious commercials for the local companies sponsoring it, and lots of authentic 40’s touches and audience participation.

Bret Fetzer’s Storytelling always delivers

Opening on Thursday, November 21, Bret Fetzer and his choral singers are back at 18th and union to entertain Seattle with old-fashioned story-telling mixed with choral singing.

In Sweetheart in a Chicken Coop, a young fellow falls in love with a girl who’s been transformed into a chicken — but his mean and feckless fiancee won’t let anyone take anything that’s hers, even though she’s not even sure if she likes him. This American fairy tale is told in the Moonshine Revival Tent’s fusion of storytelling and choral song, and accompanied by a few extra treats (including a short, sweet snippet of puppetry) and some delightful musical guests.

I heartily recommend this show to everyone, 18th and Union always picks winners and Bret Fetzer is a master storyteller.

“Like Rosetta, I want to leave an audience with joy and perhaps a deeper realization that there’s power in love,”

Playwright Cheryl L. West

There is no doubt that playwright Cheryl L. West’s intention was completely successful, everybody in the audience of Seattle Rep’s production of Shout Sister Shout on opening night left with an incredible feeling of joy and love. Everything about this musical was magnificent beginning with the fabulous script chocked full of witty yet profound dialogue, superb acting, singing and dancing, beautiful costumes and a flawless production, directed by Randy Johnson
