Trick Danneker News

Seattle Repertory Theatre's 'Speech & Debate,' the new comedy from 30-year-old playwright Stephen Karam, will close on February 21.

An up and coming actor in the Seattle area, 27-year old Trick Danneker (Patrick Francis Danneker) not only knows a lot about theater and conveying a character on stage but is also your average American guy who loves baseball, movies and Coca-Cola.

William Shakespeare's As You Like It begins its run at Harlequin Productions on October 1st and runs through the 24th. Treachery, jealousy, banishment, escape and multiple disguises all lead to a hilarious romantic romp in the forest of Arden. The daughter of a banished duke, Rosalind, flees the court with her cousin Celia. Once in the wild wood, she takes on the guise of a boy in order to advise her heart's desire, Orlando, and 'cure' him of the madness and foolery of Love. Good luck!
