If you've lived in Seattle for any substantial length of time then you probably know of one of Seattle's lost landmarks, "The Lusty Lady". Whether you just reveled in their hysterical reader board signs as you drove along 1st Avenue or were actually a visitor to Seattle's favorite peep show you knew of the old girl's allure. But how many people are actually privy to the inner workings of this pleasure palace? Well, having worked there in various jobs for 5 years, Ron Richardson is and he's come to the Market Theater to share his insights with you with his show, "My Time with the Lady". Yes, there's dirty stories and slightly off beat customers but there's also a look at the other wonderful people who brought the place to life and, believe it or not, a deeply heartfelt look at the peep show that helped make Seattle what it is today.

The life, times and untimely demise of a Seattle institution are recounted in My Time with the Lady, an original play by Ron Richardson and John Longenbaugh that tells of the life and times of The Lusty Lady Peepshow, through the eyes of a young man who worked the front desk. Lady plays April 7-30, Thu-Sat at the Market Theatre in Seattle, just a few blocks down the street from the former site of The Lusty Lady.

Artists Repertory Theatre is proud to announce their 2011/12 season's play selections: God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza, No Man's Land by Harold Pinter, Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol by John Longenbaugh, Circle Mirror Transformation by Annie Baker, (I Am Still) The Duchess of Malfi by Joseph Fisher, Next to Normal book/lyrics by Brian Yorkey with music by Tom Kitt, and Race by David Mamet.
