It’s a man, it’s a wolf,….it’s Wulver.
A “Wulver,” according to the mythology of the Shetland Islands, is a half-man-half wolf, and the subject of a solo play created and performed by Lyam White, to be broadcast live on webinar at 10 pm on Sept. 24th. Described as a “neurotic seriocomic fantasia, I have no doubt that it will live up to its description as it is directed by one of Seattle’s greatest comic geniuses, K. Brian Neel, and produced by 18th and Union, which always picks winners.
American Wulver Created and Performed by Lyam White. 18th and Union. Sept. 25 10pm. https://18thandunion.org/american-wulver

The Pink Unicorn-A Tale of Turmoil
Directed by Theatre 9-12’s esteemed Artistic Director, Charles Waxberg, The Pink Unicorn is an award-winning solo theatre piece, which tells the story of a Christian widow living in a conservative Texas town, whose life is thrown into turmoil when her teenage child, played by Paula Wilson Nitka, announces they are “gender queer” and starting a chapter of the Gay and Straight Alliance at the local high school. With lighting design by Mary Heffernan, Costume by Jae Hee Kim and Set Design by Caitlin McCown, this promises to be a thought-provoking play.
This production will be performed at 18th & Union and broadcast over the web with a live stream over Zoom Webinar. You’ll be watching a live performance – not a recording!
The Pink Unicorn, by Elise Forier Edie. Produced by 18th and Union. Thur-Sun. Sept. 24-29th, 7:30 Live performance, broadcast by webinar. Info: 18thandunion.org Tickets Necessary:

Revival of Revive at 18th and Union
** REVIVE
Porscha Shaw and Jay O’Leary
September 18-19, 2020 @ 7 PM
REVIVE returns to our stage after its success in January. Jay will join virtually from Scotland, but Porscha will be live on our stage. REVIVE seeks to resuscitate the image of Blackness in America. Multi-hyphenate artists
explore the birth of joy through song, dance and spoken word. In a world where the dominant culture yearns for the silencing of Black and brown communities, REVIVE disrupts the poisonous notion that we are a damaged people. Due to Covid Jay will be present in video and sound with us.
This production will be performed at 18th & Union and broadcast over the web with a live stream over Zoom Webinar. You’ll be watching a live performance – not a recording!
18th and Union always picks winners so I heartily recommend this production.
