Review: OH, MARY! at Paramount Theatre

Review: OH, MARY! at Paramount Theatre

by Jay Irwin · November 4, 2026

Dear Readers, I must warn you that I’ll be using some coarse and crude language in a bit. Not trying to shock or offend but it’s the actor’s name I’ll be referencing from the current production of “Oh, Mary!” playing at the Paramount. But then, if you’re interested in “Oh, Mary!”…

Review: 5 LESBIANS EATING A QUICHE at 12th Ave Arts

by Amelia Divine · October 31, 2026

Welcome to the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein. The motto: “No men. No meat. All manners.” Got it? When you walk through the steel, blast-resistant concrete door, you are now a participant in the society’s ritual Quiche Breakfast. Set in a 1950s community center, 5 L…

Review: TABLE 17 at Union Arts Center

by Jay Irwin · October 30, 2026

Dear Readers, I will state unabashedly, I love a good RomCom. The twists and turns and hope surrounding a couple trying to find that ever elusive love. Will they get out of their own way long enough to realize what they want is right in front of them? If you like them too then Douglas Lyons’ �…

Review: REFERENCES TO SALVADOR DALI MAKE ME HOT at Sound Theatre Company

by Amelia Divine · October 7, 2026

Magical realism as a genre offers the potential to portray emotion with the dream-like counter-logic that better explains how an emotion feels, as compared to what a strictly realistic portrayal may be capable of.

Review: EUREKA DAY at Seattle Rep

by Jay Irwin · October 1, 2026

Dear Readers, if you’ve ever been a part of a committee or administrative association you know how painful they can be. With a clash of egos, agendas, and issues, committees and boards can be the lowest form of life. But fortunately for us, they can also be a source for hilarious entertainment. …

Review: RAGTIME at Village Theatre

Review: RAGTIME at Village Theatre

by Jay Irwin · September 27, 2026

Dear Readers, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad production of “Ragtime” and the current production at Village Theatre is no exception. That’s not to say it’s bullet proof, I’m sure a bad production has existed somewhere out there, but as long as you understand the heart of the show a…

Review: HAMLET at Union Arts Center

Review: HAMLET at Union Arts Center

by Amelia Divine · September 22, 2026

'This above all: to thine own self be true.' There have been dozens (maybe hundreds) of Shakespearean adaptations in Seattle in recent years, and it’s become rarer to see classic versions of source material. Ironically, a tried and true Hamlet, currently playing at Union Arts Center, feels refr…
