All’s Well at Seattle Shakespeare

/

Seattle Shakespeare is on an impressive roll: their productions now consistently feature some of the most outstanding acting found anywhere in the Northwest. A highly skilled cast is a necessity when it must handle Shakespeare’s prickly All’s Well That Ends Well. The rarely produced show is labeled a “problem play” because it features a naturalistic context in which social issues are debated. Yet Shakespeare insisted on grafting onto this framework a number of comedic elements borrowed from the ancient Italian Commedia dell’arte, as he includes stock characters and some absurd “bed play.” That the play’s hodgepodge of elements blend into a wonderful entertainment is all due to a marvelously adept cast deftly handled by director Victor Pappas.

Theater 22 is Still Entertaining Us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you know, this year Theatre22 took the summer and fall off to adapt to the changes in our local economy, to work on our long-term strategic plans, and essentially take the time needed to program thoughtfully and consciously with our community driven resources.

Recently, we have watched a handful of our sister companies close their doors or lose their space which has brought longevity to the forefront of our minds. Taking a break to assess was a wise choice. Now we have 2019 lined-up and are feeling very good about choices we are making. We are almost ready to share our next season with you.

Resolutions-Live Radio Show to Usher in the New Year

“Like a vegan in a kale trough”*

Is how I would describe the enthusiasm with which I “consumed” the latest Sandbox Radio production, Resolutions. * A line from the show.

After having the sheer pleasure of attending Sandbox Radio’s holiday live radio show, at the ACT theatre, I decided that my New Year’s resolution would be to declare Sandbox Radio a Seattle “City Treasure,” seek funding, so that it can produce weekly radio shows.

The Best Christmas Miracle is Just Waking Up!

On a very stormy night, when the winds were blowing, when the rain was pelting down and branches were scraping not just the roof of my car but even the hood, I had the pleasure to participate in a heart-warming but irreverent “participantry” hosted by Sugar Plum Gary aka Emmett Montgomery, in the small intimate space at 18th and Union. It was one hour of sheer delight, as Sugar Plum Gary dressed in a bright red onesie answered questions from the audience about Santa Claus and Christmas.
