BWW Review: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, LIVE!
by Jay Irwin on October 18, 2019 in Seattle 'They're coming to get you, Barbara!' Yes, you'll definitely hear the iconic line in Weasel Productions inaugural show, 'Night of the Living Dead, LIVE!'

BWW Review: Seattle Rep's THE GREAT MOMENT
by Jay Irwin on October 17, 2019 in Seattle If you're going to put up an autobiographical play, then you need at least one of two things. You either need a life, or a moment in your life, in which something extraordinary happened, or you need to have moments that amount to a message or meaning that is not widely known by your audience. The Seattle Rep's world premiere of Anna Ziegler's a?oeThe Great Momenta?? has neither of these things. Instead, it amounts to one of my theatrical pet peeves, someone else's therapy on stage.

BWW Review: Strawberry Theatre Workshop's THE PAVILION
by Jay Irwin on October 15, 2019 in Seattle On the surface, Craig Wright's a?oeThe Paviliona??, currently being offered from Strawberry Theatre Workshop, doesn't have all that much going for it.
