People of the Book – Play – ACT Theatre

“People of the Book” world-premire play by Yussef El Guindi at ACT Theatre. Simple delicious storyline & riveting dialogue. Cool scene transitions too. #merica #lies

Pass Over – Play – Musical

“Pass Over” at ACT Theatre. While I support #BlackLivesMatter, I wasn’t a fan of this play’s style. Slow-moving & not very compelling/riveting until after halfway. Too much unnecessary profanity. Good symbolism but I’m sure lots went over my head. #PromisedLand

Urinetown – Musical – ACT Theatre & 5th Ave Theatre

With Raymund attending the
With dad attending the “UrineTown” musical satire produced by ACT Theatre & 5th Avenue Theatre. Fun talented cast & so many hilarious campy gags. I wasn’t sure if the show was for/against social services given the paradoxical ending. #urine

Oslo – Play – ACT Theatre

Previewed the Tony Award-winning play Oslo. Political/historical references to the Palestinian-Israeli crisis frequently went over my head. But great dialogue & frequent scene changes engaged my attention throughout this 3 hr (2 intermission) show.

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.

Skylight – Play – ACT Theatre

Watched the Tony award-winning play
Watched the Tony award-winning play “Skylight.” Was intoxicated by the smell of onions & garlic sauteing as they cooked Italian (in a British play) while acting. So hungry! Not quite sure what was the message of the play.

Queen – Play – ACT Theatre

Watched the play
Watched the play “Queen” this weekend. There’s dubious ethics in the peer-reviewed primary literature world! Even with the dry synopsis, it was pretty interesting. Loved the scenes of heightened emotion.

Pageant – The Musical Comedy Beauty Competition – ACT Theatre

Attended Pageant - The Hilarious Comedy Musical on the second evening of Seattle Pride weekend. 6 drag queens compete for the crown ... & actually sing! Different winner each show depending on the audience. I was totally rooting for Miss Texas & Miss Bible Belt.

Before the Flood – Play – ACT Theatre

Watched the play
Watched the play “Until the Flood” unaware it was a one-woman show abt #blacklivesmatter. The actress effectively conveyed a relevant (albeit heavy) message. But I was really originally hoping to escape into an entertaining puff piece with a plot this evening.
