Seattle Theatre Group (STG) and Thrasher presents Jack's Mannequin with special guests, Matt Nathanson and Low vs. Diamond, on Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 7:30pm at Showbox SoDo. He's the ethereal voice, songwriting powerhouse and full-contact keyboardist behind Something Corporate, the piano-rock quintet praised by one critic for its 'combination of intelligent lyrics, infectious melodies, and killer piano.' Now Andrew McMahon is taking something of a spring break from the band with which he's practically lived for the last four years in order to offer up an angst-flavored side project. In the guise of Jack's Mannequin comes Everything In Transit, a highly personal theme album by McMahon and collaborators, from Maverick Records.

Flicker House Productions, headed by Brian Purcell, in association with the Ricardo Montalban Foundation will present THE QUESTION, an Indie Rock Ballet based upon J.T.

Horenstein is the director and choreographer of this dynamic, entirely original idea, leading twenty-six dancers through this dark journey of murder and intrigue.
