Review: THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Paramount Theatre


by Shelley Dean - May 18, 2026

It’s almost unbelievable for me to admit that this was my first time seeing The Phantom of the Opera.

Review: APPROPRIATE at The Seattle Rep


by Jay Irwin - April 16, 2026

Dear Readers, why do we like shows about dysfunctional families? I posit that it’s one of two reasons. Either we are reveling in knowing that your family isn’t that bad or watching as more of a catharsis of seeing a family like yours get through their dysfunction. Playwright Branden Jacobs-Je...

Review: MARY JANE at The Seattle Rep


by Jay Irwin - March 26, 2026

Dear Readers, we’ve all had to, or will have to, deal with an ailing loved one. But with luck that span where we devote extra time and care or even time in the hospital will be temporary and brief. A broken bone or a minor surgery, if the gods are kind. But what happens when that medical malady be...

Review: BASKERVILLE: A SHERLOCK HOLMES MYSTERY at Village Theatre


by Shelley Dean - February 06, 2026

Mysterious and mischievous are two words that ensure a pretty good time when it comes to a night at the theater. Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery is the embodiment of these words. Skillfully directed by Adam Immerwahr, Village Theatre’s production of the live-action mystery is...
