ACT Theatre Announces Upcoming Season

ACT - A Contemporary Theatre announces a jam packed spring and summer of shows that cover a broad range of contemporary performance. ACT presents a world premiere of Seattle playwright Katie Forgette's Assisted Living opening in late April. Then ACT gets its feet WET by teaming up with Washington Ensemble Theatre and delves deep into the works of new authors with the intimate Construction Zone reading series. June brings proven hit shows to the boards with the regional premiere of the Broadway smash success Other Desert Cities, and master comedian improviser and impersonator extraordinaire Frank Ferrante returns for his critically acclaimed tribute to Groucho Marx in An Evening With Groucho. The sizzling examination of modern feminism Rapture, Blister, Burn takes flight in July, and August will see the return of Seattle favorites The Love Markets for their big upcoming CD release. Summer wraps up when new Associate Artistic Director John Langs directs Will Eno's Middletown, a whimsical and curious play that examines a constellation of ideas about life, death, and everything in the middle.

The following take place between April and September of 2013, tickets are currently on sale at www.acttheatre.org or (206) 292-7676. All shows are included on the monthly ACTPass membership.
