The Clean House – Play – As If Theatre Company Closing night to “The Clean House” comedy play w/ As If Theatre Company. Maid character was too obsessed w/ jokes & tries too hard to be funny. Liked the neurotic sisters (the doctor & the one like Bree Van De Kamp).
The Devil & Sarah Blackwater – Musical – Annex Theatre Closing night of “The Devil & Sarah Blackwater” new musical at Annex Theatre. Good premise (make a deal w/ the devil for love). Not so good music (but some was ok). Awful demon portrayals. #hell #purgatory #limbo
Death of a Salesman – Play – Short Order Theatre Company Sold out “Death of a Salesman” matinee at Slate Theatre. Slow-moving play about the American dream, success, & the reality of mediocrity. Not quite sure why it won the Pulitzer Prize & some Tony Awards.
American Junkie – Play – Book-It Repertory Theatre Watched the stage play adaptation of “American Junkie” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Visceral, vivid, chilling descriptions of heroin addiction. An ode to the grunge era. Sooooo Seattle.
Arsenic & Old Lace – Play – Taproot Theatre Sold-out standing-room-only murder comedy play “Arsenic & Old Lace” at Taproot Theatre. An understudy-less actor was sick & the set designer read lines really well w/ a script on stage! #TheShowMustGoOn. Dialogue & eccentric characters reminded me of English humor.
