THE WEIR to Play Tacoma Little Theatre, 11/8-17

By: BWW News Desk Oct. 11, 2013

Tacoma Little Theatre brings the mystery and intrigue of the Irish countryside to life in its production of Connor McPherson's The Weir, directed by pug Bujeaud.

In a bar in a remote part of western Ireland, three local lads, together with the landlord are swapping spooky stories to impress an attractive young woman. What begins as a simple visit to the local pub soon turns out to be an evening of both funny and spell-binding stories. When the final tale takes a strange and unexpected twist, it changes the whole mood of the evening and marks a significant shift among the chemistry of the group.

This production features some of Puget Sound's most talented actors: Ellen Peters (Valerie), Gabriel McClelland (Finbar), Adam Postil (Jack), Brian Wayne Jensen (Jim), and Robert McConkey (Brendan).

The Weir will run Friday, November 8, 2013 until Sunday, November 17, 2013. Friday and Saturday showings are at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2pm. This show is recommended for ages 13+. It contains strong language and some mature content.

Tickets are $12.00 and may be purchased online at www.tacomalittletheatre.com, or by calling our Box Office at (253) 272-2281.

Review: SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE PRECARIOUS POSITION at Taproot Theatre

First off, Dear Readers, “Sherlock Holmes and the Precarious Position” currently playing at Taproot Theatre, is not a Holmes story from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It’s a silly little lark with Holmesian characters by Margaret Raether. The program even says, “Based on the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle”. Second, do not try and gleam anything from the title. I’m still not certain what the “Precarious Position” was. At least, not without really reaching for a connection. Having said that, this silly little lark was fairly fun, largely due to a cast that was having just as much fun. So, it’s not brilliant or life changing, but I will go so far as saying it’s gigglelicious.

Review: ONCE ON THIS ISLAND at Village Theatre

Dear Readers, we’re about to enter the realm of one of my favorite shows, “Once on This Island”, currently playing at Village Theatre. This gem of a show is, sadly, not often produced. In fact, I’ve only seen it twice, once on Broadway in 2017, and once in 2005, again from Village Theatre. Both of those productions hold very special places in my memory as being stellar shows. I tell you this for one reason and one reason only, I am very picky when it comes to this show. I know the story and the music backwards and forwards. And I am loathed to say that this current production suffered from bad choice after bad choice, misstep after misstep, resulting in something that resembled the gem, but ultimately did not shine.
