Passengers-A unique experience at Seattle Rep

/

Acrobatics at the Rep

If you’ve always been enchanted by the concept of sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own, you will be amazed and affected by Seattle Rep’s Passengers. As the title suggests, Passengers is about the complex inner lives of passengers. Passengers is performed by The 7 Fingers, an acrobatic and theater arts collective based in Montréal. The script is comedic and thoughtful. The acrobatics are astounding. If you enjoy thought experiments, people-watching, circuses, and/or electro swing jazz (music by Colin Gagné), you would enjoy Passengers.

Awe-inspiring Historical Drama

An exceptional production in every way, Last Drive to Dodge, opened last weekend at Taproot’s Jewel Mainstage, directed by the venerable Valerie Curtis-Newton. It was extraordinary in every way, the script by Andrew Lee Creech, the superb acting, the lovely accompanying music, the evocative lighting effects and the history lessons gently woven into the plot. As a joint production of the Hansberry Project and Taproot it was a tribute to a marvelous partnership.
