Dear Readers, a few years back on one of my trips to the Mothership, I managed to catch Robert Askins' hilarious play "Hand to God" on Broadway and as soon as I finished wetting myself from laughter I thought, "Someone in Seattle needs to do this so my Dear Readers can wet themselves as well.

BWW Review: WET's Creepy Techno-thriller THE NETHER
As the folks at Washington Ensemble Theatre point out over and over in the lobby and in the press info of their latest offering, Jennifer Haley's "The Nether", the show is filled with trigger warnings and not for the faint of heart.

Slice of life plays can be difficult, at least I've always found them so.

When you think the classic era of Broadway Musicals, many lean toward Rodgers and Hammerstein or Lerner and Loewe but for my money I always go right to Cole Porter.

“Crowns” is a feel-good musical about hats.

'The Happiest Song Plays Last' puts two dissonant narratives side by side.

Seattle Public Theater tends towards the darker, edgier plays.
