Review: BLOOD/SUCKER at 12th Ave Arts

by Amelia Divine · August 31, 2026

In Washington Ensemble Theatre’s Blood/Sucker, there’s something lurking in the shadows of the public high school, something that wants to suck the life out of all who roam the halls, teachers and students alike. Is it gun violence? Internet trolls? Bullying? Racism? Transphobia? Food insecurity…

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Paramount Theatre

Review: HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD at Paramount Theatre

by Jay Irwin · August 27, 2026

Dear Readers, when discussing the play “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre, we need to consider things in two time frames, B.C. and A.C., Before Covid and After Covid. B.C. the show was only in select places such as New York, London, and San Francisco…

Review: FREAK THE MIGHTY at The Seattle Rep

Review: FREAK THE MIGHTY at The Seattle Rep

by Jay Irwin · August 6, 2026

Dear Readers, shows about overcoming adversity are not a new thing. It’s pretty much a staple of many storylines. But what has been coming up more and more are the shows about overcoming a physical adversity. Of course there’s one of my favorites, “Hairspray” dealing with racism and body …

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Paramount Theatre

Review: HELL'S KITCHEN at Paramount Theatre

by Amelia Divine · July 23, 2026

Alicia Keys can write the hell out of a song. Her catalog has been the soundtrack to heartbreaks and first loves for more than two decades. Hell's Kitchen, the Grammy winner's semi-autobiographical musical now at the Paramount Theatre, is a welcome reminder of just how singular her music really is. …

Review: AS YOU LIKE IT by Dacha Theatre

Review: AS YOU LIKE IT by Dacha Theatre

by Amelia Divine · July 22, 2026

William Shakespeare’s work, undoubtedly, is an acquired taste. Shakespeare’s poetry of language can turn people off (the Elizabethan language can be hard to follow).  Would you believe me if I told you that one way to make his work more approachable is by folding in layers of randomness and cha…

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Taproot Theatre

Review: JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT at Taproot Theatre

by Amelia Divine · July 20, 2026

When I think of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, I don't think of camp. It's content and presentation are really earnest. But the Taproot Theatre’s latest production leans into ‘camp’ in every sense of the word. Set in a children’s summer camp talent show…

Review: FRIDA...A SELF-PORTRAIT at Union Arts Center

Review: FRIDA...A SELF-PORTRAIT at Union Arts Center

by Amelia Divine · June 13, 2026

One-person productions are typically autobiographical: the performer teaches the audience about themself, as themself. But this seemingly “direct” approach is often not actually revealing, where an artist performs a ritualized series of autobiographical anecdotes that fit into the form’s genre…

Review: BLUE MAN GROUP at The Paramount Theatre

Review: BLUE MAN GROUP at The Paramount Theatre

by Shelley Dean · June 2, 2026

There’s a reason Blue Man Group has been beloved for nearly 40 years: their show is pure fun.
