The Triangle Fire Project-5 Alarm Intense Historical Play

/

Solidarity Forever-Our Unions will make us Strong

Suspenseful Historical Play with a Message.

As a reviewer, I seem to have hit the jackpot this weekend. Not only was I invited to Blue Hour’s The Plague Master General, but also to Rainy Day Artistic Collective’s The Triangle Factory Fire Project, two brilliant, enjoyable shows about corruption produced by two small promising companies. The latter, written by Christopher Piehler with Scott Alan Evan was staged at TPS’s Theatre 4. This first-rate script was directed with balletic precision by Jack Seamus Conley.

August Wilson’s Jitney at the Seattle Rep

/

Life under Stress

Were I as eloquent as August Wilson, I might be able to articulate how great his masterpiece, Jitney, was but unlike Wilson, I am no Shakespeare. Suffice it to say production, presented at Seattle Rep, was an incredibly memorable evening filled with poetic wit, gripping characters, fantastic original music, astounding visual effects and a story which captured the dreams and struggles of the African American community at a particular moment in history. But like all great drama, its themes were universal. And then there was the humor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Like Rosetta, I want to leave an audience with joy and perhaps a deeper realization that there’s power in love,”

Playwright Cheryl L. West

There is no doubt that playwright Cheryl L. West’s intention was completely successful, everybody in the audience of Seattle Rep’s production of Shout Sister Shout on opening night left with an incredible feeling of joy and love. Everything about this musical was magnificent beginning with the fabulous script chocked full of witty yet profound dialogue, superb acting, singing and dancing, beautiful costumes and a flawless production, directed by Randy Johnson
