Dear Readers, I’m going to offer up a few unpopular opinions of mine.
Review: MACBETH from Seattle Shakespeare
In this time of year with black cats, ghouls and ghosts, and things that go bump in the night, it stands to reason that Seattle Shakespeare would bring out one of the bloodier and creepier of Shakespeare’s canon, “Macbeth”, or “the Scottish play” as it’s known by superstitious theater fo

THE GLASS MENAGERIE invites you to lean in and join the world of the Wingfield Family.
Review: LA TOFANA'S POISON EMPORIUM at Macha Theatre Works
A world premiere play, set in the 1650’s, that resonates so much with today? That’s what we currently have from Macha Theatre Works with their production of “La Tofana’s Poison Emporium”.

Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at The Paramount Theatre
Chances are you were forced to read Harper Lee’s classic, “To Kill a Mockingbird” in school.
Review: THE FOREIGNER at As If Theatre
THE FOREIGNER at As If Theatre provides a farcical romp of entertainment while yet managing to deliver a poignant message on racism and fear of others that remains as relevant today as when Shue wrote it forty years ago.

The air is electric.

Review: CHOIR BOY at ACT Theatre
Dear Readers, I’m going to set the “Way Back Machine” to 2011 where I was first introduced to the works of playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney as the Seattle Rep had produced his stunning “The Brothers Size”, a show that hit me so hard in the gut that I think about it to this day.
Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Village Theatre
Howard Ashman and Alan Menken’s “Little Shop of Horrors” is arguably one of those near perfect musicals.
Review: MOUSETRAP at Driftwood Theater
A secluded inn full of guests, a massive snow storm, and a murderer on the loose combine into a delicious murder mystery, masterfully written by Agatha Christie, and delightfully produced by the Driftwood Players.
