Review: SUITE SURRENDER at As If Theatre
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - March 17, 2023
With a parade of mismanaged guests, lurking press, and plucky staff, SUITE SURRENDER at As If Theatre offers us a classic farce for your enjoyment.

With the weight of winter receding into memory, this show invites you in for a good laugh as therapeutic as the spring sunshine.What did our critic think of SUITE SURRENDER at As If Theatre?

Review: BETWEEN TWO KNEES at Seattle Repertory Theatre
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - March 09, 2023
BETWEEN TWO KNEES at Seattle Rep is unlike any other show, mixing shame with amusement into a piece that uses comedy as resistance. The 1491s make the voices of Native Americans heard and choose to do so through comedy. With humor as their weapon, the show takes aim at the violence, abuse, and manipulation that indigenous cultures have suffered and those who perpetrated those crimes. The show will make you laugh and make your seat of privilege so uncomfortable that you want to do something about it.hat did our critic think of BETWEEN TWO KNEES at Seattle Repertory Theatre?
Review: DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Paramount Theater
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - March 09, 2023
Powerful, touching, and painfully relevant, DEAR EVAN HANSEN sweeps into Seattle for another run. With haunting melodies, a tight cast, and a modern digital set, the show continues to be the right story at the right time. The messages of love and loss, lies and misunderstanding, and of loneliness and connection are even more poignant for our post-pandemic world. It is a night of theater that reminds us of what really matters and that we are all in this together.What did our critic think of DEAR EVAN HANSEN at Paramount Theater?
