Seattle Rep Sets Up Another High Bar for its 2023 Season

Metamorphoses: Stories of Transformation

First with I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter and now with Metamorphoses, Seattle Rep starts the year by showing off its love for the storytelling craft with meaningful quality productions. Metamorphoses is very unlike the first production of the year in its theme and delivery, but it has earned my esteem once again. Originally written by Roman poet Ovid, one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature, Metamorphoses, also known as Transformations, is a narrative poem that encompasses over two hundred and fifty myths.

Larry Hohm delivers stories to both warm and chill your heart

/

Larry Hohm seems a friend telling stories over a firepit, with an ominous tone and a tenderness that make the suspense all the more palpable. In the cozy stage of 18th and Union, Hohm recited a series of chilling short stories, from acclaimed authors Shirley Jackson, Frederick Brown, Dick Skeen, Ursula K. Le Guin, Anna Starobinets, and Jeffrey Whitmore.

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.

History in the making by Seattle Storyteller Bret Fetzer

In 1974, Garrison Keillor and Minnesota Public radio debuted A Prairie Home Companion, in an auditorium at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota with only 12 people in the audience…the rest is history. On Tuesday, Feb 4, Annex Theatre and Bret Fetzer, opened Story & Song, a storytelling program; in 10 or 15 year we will probably be saying the same thing about him.
