Dear Readers, I want to share with you one of the issues I come up against while writing these reviews. How much of the story to tell you. Especially with shows such as “Sanctuary City” by Martyna Majok, currently playing at the Seattle Rep, I want you to experience it somewhat blind, and let this brilliantly layered show unfold and wash over you the same way it did for me. But I want to tell you what it’s about. So, I’ll do my best and still try to avoid the spoilers.

Como muchas otras áreas de trabajo, el Teatro Musical ha sido tradicionalmente una industria en la que los hombres dominaban la cartelera y rara vez se daba a las mujeres la plataforma para expresar su creatividad más allá del escenario. Aunque todavía queda mucho por hacer en este campo, por suerte esto está cambiando y hoy hay nombres de mujeres muy prevalentes en Teatro Musical tanto nacional como internacionalmente, trayéndonos algunos de los títulos más relevantes, rompedores y exitosos de la actualidad.

Learn about Martyna Majok’s Sanctuary City from actors Emilie Maureen Hanson, Junior Nyong’o, and Josh Kenji in a brand-new interview. Together, they discuss immigration as a “lived experience,” the cost of friendship, and what they hope audiences will take away from Sanctuary City at Seattle Rep.
