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

by Amelia Divine · September 22, 2026

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: FREAK THE MIGHTY at The Seattle Rep

by Jay Irwin · August 6, 2026
