Science! Comedy! Death! Comedy! September Shows Announced at 18th & Union

18th & Union is back from summer vacation. We're welcoming back our good friend Ricky Coates, formerly based in Seattle. Ricky and his performing partner Sadie Bowman offer two combustible mixtures of science and musical comedy. And, we'll host a new production of Jeffrey Hatcher's Three Viewings, a play that shows that even in mourning we can have a sense of humor.

Two performances only

Curie Me Away!

Written and performed by Sadie Bowman and Ricky Coates

Presented by Matheatre

A radioactive musical! From growing up in occupied Poland, where the higher education of women was a punishable crime, to becoming the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, it's the radical story of a persistent woman who changed our understanding of the universe.

Friday, September 22 and Sunday, September 24 at 7:30 pm

Tickets: $12-$25

Opens Friday, September 29

Three Viewings

By Jeffrey Hatcher

Not everyone takes their secret to the grave. A funeral director, a thief, and a widow each reveal their deepest secrets in Jeffrey Hatcher's award-winning play. Surprising, funny, and poignant, this insightful comedy takes a pointed look at unrequited love, family drama, and the masks we all hide behind. Featuring Seattle actors Gretchen Douma, Terry Boyd, and Patty Bonnell

"Never underestimate the power of a good yarn." -New York Times

Calculus: The Musical!

Performed by Ricky Coates and Sadie Bowman

Presented by Matheatre

Isaac Newton joins forces with Ada, a modern math student, on a journey of discovery. Their adventures through the peaks and troughs of Calculus is a buddy comedy for the ages! Archimedes, Robert Hooke, Gottfried Leibniz, L'Hopital, and Riemann are part of the action, from toga parties and accordion smackdowns to sick rhymes and dream ballets--you've never laughed so much in an hour of Calculus.
