Theatre912 has brought Theresa Rebeck’s Seminar to Seattle. Using the intimacy of the Assembly Hall at Trinity Church to great advantage, Director Paul O’Connell gives the audience the sensation of examining the dynamics of these characters with the same close attention they want their writing to receive.
Sometimes during this writing seminar the character actually talk about the writing.
Or Simultaneous Equations?????
Since The Equation uses an inverse structure to explain how the devastation of the Great Depression gave rise to the myopic materialism of the 1950’s, it is no accident that Charles Waxberg chose a mathematical title for his play, which opened this weekend at Theatre 9-12. However, given the mathematical theme for the title, a more appropriate title, given its highly creative structure might be Simultaneous Equations.
Five Star Production in the Hood
Perhaps the best show I have reviewed this whole season, Flame in the Mirror, opened this weekend, at Eclectic Theatre Company in the Pike/Pine corridor, written by a Capitol Hill homeboy, playwright, John Ruoff.
