Pramila Jayapal, a Washington State Senator and candidate for Congress, will lead a post-play discussion immediately following the Sunday, June 19, matinee performance of Sorry. Sorry, by Richard Nelson, is a smart, funny and timely play that asks how we make the right choices, both at home and in the larger political world. In an election season marked with so much anger and shouting, Sorry offers instead a "lovely . . . feeling of shared citizenship," (New York Times) where one family, trying to make the right choice in their own difficult decision, still manage, with humor and grace, to talk to one another using their "inside voices." Pramila Jayapal's participation makes tangible this intimate, vital connection between the personal and the political, the local and the national.

Thalia's Umbrella is a collaboration between Producing Artistic Director Terry Edward
Moore and director Daniel Wilson, to produce plays that dance on the line between comedy and tragedy, taking the light of life seriously and the serious lightly, to create a space where, in Robert Frost's words, "the work is play for mortal stakes." Thalia's first two productions, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg and A Lesson From Aloes, each received a Footlight Award from the Seattle Times. Moore was a co-founder of Seattle Shakespeare Company, and served as Co-Artistic Director there for six years. He has acted and/or directed for most of the professional theaters in the Pacific Northwest, as well as theaters from coast to coast. Daniel Wilson has directed plays professionally from New York to Alaska, and has directed opera in Oregon, Alaska, and for Cornish College of the Arts.
