Take Me Out – Play – Strawberry Theatre Workshop

“Take Me Out” w/ Strawberry Theatre Workshop. Nearly the entire male cast was naked at some point (very distracting). Good soliloquy style. Excellent climactic scenes of heightened emotion. But not quite sure what was the play’s message. #nudity #gay #lgbt

School of Rock – Musical – Paramount Theatre

School of Rock the Musical w/ Seattle Theatre Group. #Talented kid performers but my least favorite Andrew Lloyd Webber #musical. Not a fan of shows w/ lots of #kids esp when the message is they know better than sensible adults.

BonBon – Cabaret – Can Can

“BonBon” at Can Can Culinary Cabaret. Crazy athletics! Pleasantly surprised to see familiar professional actors from the Seattle theatre scene singing & dancing in the show. #cabaret #burlesque #dinnerTheatre #hunks ?

The Drowsy Chaperone – Musical – Seattle Community College

“The Drowsy Chaperone” – a love letter parody of musicals. The narrator was a sad glimpse into my future ?. Like many Shoreline Community College Theater shows, I was pleasantly surprised by the caliber of this production.

Office Hour – Play – ArtsWest

“Office Hour” play at ArtsWest. Confused w/ what actually vs potentially occurred in the story timeline. Radical conflictingly sympathetic portrayal of mass shooting killers. Well-performed final climactic montage of violence.

Nina Simone: Four Women – Play – Seattle Repertory Theatre

“Nina Simone – Four Women” w/ Seattle Repertory Theatre. Great voices (esp the deep alto). But boring preachy play w/ no plot. Probably would have enjoyed it more if I actually knew her songs! #NinaSimone

Art – Play – Tacoma Arts Live

Opening night to the #play
Opening night to the play “Art” w/ Tacoma Arts Live. Great actors but the attempts at humor were annoying. Good semi-climactic ending though. #NotFunny
