Review: LA TOFANA'S POISON EMPORIUM at Macha Theatre Works
by Jay Irwin - October 16, 2022
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”. While this piece presents an actual murderess/savior from history, it also, deftly correlates to the woes of today and presents them with humor and heart.

Review: THIS IS HALLOWEEN at The Can Can
by Jay Irwin - October 15, 2022
The Can Can, Seattle’s fabulous burlesque house, celebrates the 15th anniversary of their collaboration with The Triple Door by bringing back their ode to Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” with their tantalizing “This Is Halloween”. And while this naughty nightmare has much of what you’d want from a Can Can show, one aspect continued to be quite frustrating, at least for me. Clarity.

Review: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - October 12, 2022
Chances are you were forced to read Harper Lee’s classic, “To Kill a Mockingbird” in school. And why not, it’s stunning. But have you seen the recent Broadway adaptation? This adaptation from the amazing Aaron Sorkin, directed by Bartlett Sher, currently playing at the Paramount Theater, takes all that’s great about the source material and presents it in a way that will make you remember why it’s such an enduring classic and why you were forced to read it.

Review: THE FOREIGNER at As If Theatre
by Kelly Rogers Flynt - October 08, 2022
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. Thoroughly seeded with absurdities and archetypes, the play offers easy laughs. However, the intricacy of the story and writing also provide much more for the audience to digest. THE FOREIGNER engages the mind, lifts the spirits, and soothes the soul.

Review: A WHITE HAUNTING at MAP Theatre
by Jay Irwin - October 08, 2022
If you’ve ever seen a MAP Theatre show, Dear Readers, then you know they tend toward the odd little stories laced with humor, but ultimately fairly dark and twisted. But you also know they tend to do those odd little stories, quite well. Their current production of Brian Dang’s “A White Haunting” is certainly no exception. But while I enjoyed the show, the production, and the premise, the script itself felt like it was having issues finding a satisfying ending.

Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - October 06, 2022
The problem with a one person show, Dear Readers, or even a mostly one-person show is that often the author can tend to ramble. They get lost in their own exorcising of whatever demons they’re trying to get out and go on tangent after tangent. Heidi Schreck, author of “What the Constitution Means to Me”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep, even references it herself. However, Schreck manages to take those seeming tangents and gracefully pull that thread connecting them all and bring them all together creating a wholly impactful and provocative show that will stick with you long after you leave the theater.
