Review: HOUSE OF JOY at Seattle Public Theater
by Amelia Divine - May 18, 2025
In House of Joy, co-produced by Pratidhwani and Seattle Public Theater, the house is more than just a setting. It listens. It responds. It protects and encourages. It even moves, embodied by the stunning choreography of the guards. These dancers don’t just live in the house. They are the house. This is fantastical escapism at its finest, and with one of the most fitting titles I’ve heard in a long time, the spirit of the house is, quite simply, joy.

Review: SIX at The Paramount Theatre
by Jay Irwin - May 07, 2025
Dear Readers, It’s true, the Queens are back. The glorious rock show “Six” is back at the Paramount to melt our faces and maybe even teach us a little history. And while it’s still the same amazing show that, if you know, you know, I just wish the Paramount, and really all the musical theater houses in town, could work out their sound mixes so lyrics could be heard over the rockin’ band.

Review: Sound Theater Company's HUNGRY at Center Theater
by Amelia Divine - May 05, 2025
There’s no escaping the kitchen in Hungry, now playing at Sound Theatre Company. Not just because the set keeps the kitchen table at center stage, no matter where in time we’re dropped. But because food, and everything it represents; culture, class, control, comfort is the simmering heart of this gripping two-hander. And with two extraordinary performances from Simone Alene and Jayne Hubbard, that heat doesn’t just stay on. It boils over.

Review: HAMLET at The Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - May 01, 2025
Dear Readers, I want to set the not-so-wayback machine to January 2024 when I got to see the first preview of Eddie Izzard doing her one person “Hamlet” in New York. Now I want to emphasize, this was the first preview of a brand-new show, and it was rough. This is to be expected. But afterward I was out on the street waiting for my cab when Izzard came out of the theater. Faced with the glory that is Eddie Izzard, and me being a big fan, I blurted out, “You were amazing!” Which she was, even in a rough show. She looked at me and said “That was a six. Come back later and you’ll see a ten!” Well, it’s taken a little while, but I finally got to come back now that she’s brought her tour of the show to Seattle at the Seattle Rep. And I’m happy to report she was right; we’re at a ten now.

Review: DADS at 12th Ave Arts
by Amelia Divine - April 28, 2025
DADS doesn’t so much invite you in as dare you to stick around long enough to figure it out. Now playing at 12th Ave Arts, this messy, physical, and defiantly queer performance — created and performed by the Drama Tops duo Elby Brosch and Shane Donohue — explores grief through endurance, irony, and chaos. But for much of its 90-minute runtime, you’re left wondering what, exactly, you’re watching, and why.

Review: LAUGHS IN SPANISH at The Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - April 26, 2025
Dear Readers, it’s always a dangerous proposition for a playwright to put the emotion they want you to feel in the title of their play. One such show would be Alexis Scheer’s “Laughs in Spanish”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep. If you’re going to tell me there are laughs, then there had better be laughs. And while there were some laughs, there were not enough and, really, only some chuckles.
