The Habit has done it again! First, they wowed us with their hilarious sketch comedy, then branched out into sidesplitting playwrighting with the recurring “A Very Die Hard Christmas”, not to mention their “Indiana Jones” send up.
Review: BLACK COFFEE at Taproot Theatre
Something missing, someone dead, many with motives, and none telling the whole truth.

Dear Readers, every now and again something comes through town that takes musical theater to a whole new level.

For many, the days following the election of Donald Trump to the White House were harrowing, fraught with uncertainty and angst but especially for undocumented immigrants whose livelihood seemed to be the focal rallying cry of the former President and his base.
BWW Review: AFTERWORDS at The 5th Avenue Theatre
Dear Readers, by now you know that one of my major pet peeves for any show is what I call “someone else’s therapy on stage”.

Every once in a while the stars will align, and magic will happen.

BWW Review: SELLING KABUL at The Seattle Rep
The lies we tell ourselves and each other, Dear Readers, and the information we choose to divulge and that which we choose to keep to ourselves, those choices are at the heart of “Selling Kabul”, the current show playing at the Seattle Rep.

Dear Readers, if you’re going to do a show, any show, you need to have confidence in what you’re putting up on that stage.
