September 2018 – Shows I've Seen | Theatre Reviews

Native Gardens – Play – Intiman Theatre

Last performance of the play — Last performance of the play “Native Gardens.” Immigrant & WASP neighbors clash over world views & property borders. Great lawyerly argument/debate dialogue. But the conflict was wrapped up too neatly in the end.

The Good Woman of Setzuan – Play – ACT Theatre

Watched The Good Woman of Setzuan play. It's hard to be good. Also love is blind, irrational, and reckless! And I wasn't a fan of the occasional rudimentary puppetry. — Watched The Good Woman of Setzuan play. It’s hard to be good. Also love is blind, irrational, and reckless!

The Witching Hour – Dinner Theatre – Cafe Nordo

Dinner theatre featuring — Dinner theatre featuring “The Witching Hour” play. Was like watching a confusing Halloween Charmed episode with a wine flight & too little food. My Seventh Day Adventist side was glad they didn’t bust out a wiccan ouija board! ?

Legally Blonde – Musical Concert – Showtunes Theatre Company

Afternoon matinee of Legally Blonde the Musical in concert. Casting black actresses as Elle Woods and Paulette Bonafonté added a neat twist to this fun musical.

Jane Eyre – Play – Book-It Repertory Theatre

Watched the staged play adaptation of Jane Eyre. Like in Twillight, Pride and Prejudice, & The Phantom of the Opera, I don't understand the allure of brooding borderline-misogynist male romantic leads. — Watched the staged play adaptation of Jane Eyre.
