Jane Anderson's The Quality of Life is a play about grief and the various ways people deal with it. Oh, you're thinking, a heavy drama. Nope, it's a comedy. A black comedy? No again. It's warm, heartfelt, profane, and hilarious, and it's life-affirming in the best possible way. Anderson looks at grief from every possible angle and leaves you bruised but hopeful.
Artists Rep is pleased to present the Northwest Premiere of The Quality of Life by Jane Anderson, from April 8 through May 11. Former Artists Rep Artistic Director Allen Nause will direct this provocative and deeply moving production featuring a stellar cast of some of Portland's most well-known and talented actors.
One of the most famous quotes regarding Fiddler on the Roof came from the producer of the first Japanese production, who said to the writers, 'Do they understand this show in America? It's so Japanese!' Well, you don't have to be Japanese, or Jewish, or anything else to understand Fiddler.
It's one of my favorite weekends of the year. The weekend I get to spend three days listening to exciting new works as presented by some of the best performers Seattle has to offer. And this year Village Theatre did not disappoint as they invited members, performers, staff and press to partake of their Village Originals 13th Annual Festival of New Musicals. Some good, some maybe not so, some needing a little more work than others but all showing a deep love for the art and presented by some of the best voices in town. Now, I can't review them as they're still works in progress but I can tell you about the shows presented over the weekend and let you know about the one show that while still in development is still running one more weekend and can have tickets purchased to by non-members (that would be you, Dear Readers).
At the Artists Repertory Theatre in Portland, NEXT TO NORMAL shows that musicals just require some conviction and fire to be successful. Mixing an ensemble of hard talent, a very full docket of songs, and a story of mental illness in a fragile family takes the audience on a troubling but not unhappy ride.
Next to Normal is described as 'a heart-swelling, acutely searing dissection of a mother's mental illness and her suburban family trying to hold it all together. A brave, powerfully emotional musical takes on new territory, with the musical format and taking on serious issues, with mix of raw energy and grace.'
