Timothy McCuen Piggee to Receive Sustained Achievement Award from TPS

By: Tyler Peterson Sep. 30, 2015

Theatre Puget Sound (TPS) is very proud to present actor Timothy McCuen Piggee with the Sustained Achievement Award as part of the 7th Annual Gregory Awards. Timothy has appeared on most Seattle stages, including leading roles with ACT Theatre, Intiman Theatre, Village Theatre, Seattle Repertory Theatre, Seattle Children's Theatre, 5th Avenue Theatre, Showtunes, Seattle Group Theatre, The Empty Space Theatre, and Tacoma Actor's Guild, among others.

Nationally his work has been seen on Broadway and at the Denver Center Theatre Company, Arizona Theatre Company, Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Milwaukee Repertory Theater, Portland Center Stage and Pioneer Theatre Company, and his film and television credits include Late Show with David Letterman and the 65th Annual Tony Awards.

As a vital part of the Seattle's theatre ecosystem, Timothy has taught and directed at Cornish College of the Arts for 21 years, as well as directed productions and readings at Seattle Repertory Theatre, Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, Village Theatre, Freehold Theatre Lab/Studio, Seattle Children's Theatre, and many others. He's been honored with dozens of local and national awards, including the 2015 Lunt-Fontanne Fellowship and 2012 University of Utah Distinguished Alumnus Award.

Timothy has described his career as "letting the work matter, and making sure there are always opportunities for myself and others to work. I aim to by 'symphonic' or 'hyphenated' - unlimited in my own mind about the opportunities available to me. You have to find your own route to the truth - artistic, emotional, civic, and human - and then you're able to be an agent of change and find joy in the serious business of living."

The 18th Annual Gregory Awards will take place on Monday, October 26, sponsored by Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. Tickets starting at $35 are available at tpsonline.org/tickets. For more information, including a complete list of nominees, please visit gregoryawards.org.

RELATED STORIES - Seattle

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.
