Big Rock Rolls into Fremont’s West of Lenin

Local playwright Sonya Schneider receives a red carpet treatment from the West of Lenin troupe for her premiere of Big Rock. Under the direction of Laurel Pilar Garcia, local actors Meg McLynn, Todd Jefferson Moore and Evan Whitfield do outstanding work bringing Schneider’s script to life. The unique setting of a small island somewhere in the Puget Sound is deftly represented by designer Julia Hayes Welch and beautifully lit by Jessica Trundy. Alas the actual play falls short of living up to the expert care it has been given by the actors and crew.

The Impossibility of Now WOWS

Love is not love, which alters when it alteration finds.

Thalia’s Umbrella’s world première The Impossibility of Now, by Y York, exquisitely illustrates the concept expressed in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 whose first three lines are:

“Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediment; love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,”

Utilizing a highly original plot, outstandingly witty dialogue, a fabulous musical score, interesting recognizable stereotypes who go through profound character development, great acting, and a set to die for, all put together by an expert director, this romantic comedy for the middle aged, delivers the goods. And how!
