DOGGS HAMLET, CAHOOT'S MACBETH
BY Tom Stoppard
Tom Stoppard (Rozencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead) uses the Bard's classics to explore the nature of language, censorship and the importance of free expression. In Dogg's Hamlet, British schoolboys who speak the language of "Dogg" encounter a befuddlEd English-speaking delivery man as they prepare for their school production of Hamlet. In Cahoot's Macbeth, renegade actors in cold-war Czechoslovakia continue their private performance of Macbeth under the eyes of a police inspector who suspects them of subversion against the state. In both plays, Stoppard's smart, witty and gleeful word-play illuminates the power of language in our world.

THE WILD PARTY
BY Andrew Lippa
Based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March
Sound Theatre Company presents the Seattle premiere of The Wild Party, with book, music and lyrics by Andrew Lippa, based on the 1928 epic poem by Joseph Moncure March about the excesses of the Jazz Age. A group of vaudeville and burlesque performers join together for a wild, erotic evening in a Manhattan apartment that will push the limits of their decadent and thrill-seeking high living. Corey D. McDaniel directs this provocative staging with music direction by Kimberly Dare, choreography by Jessica Low and features the physical and vocal talents of an ensemble of young professional musical theatre artists. For mature audiences: contains very adult situations.
