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.

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.
