Chamber musical of “Melancholy Play” w/ Undergraduate Theatre Society at UW. Awful script but promising actors. Annoyingly quirky. Almond references were maddening until I realized being an almond may be symbolic for being nuts. #Childish #SocialContract
“The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical” tour. Somehow they made the minimalist set/props & small cast work. Catchy songs. Dazzling audio/lighting effects. Anticlimactic ending. High school demigod half-bloods. #LTMusical
Watched “Boeing Boeing” at SecondStory Repertory. Cute play … although a bit too long. I wonder what the French, Germans, & Italians think about the fake accents. Glad Texans were represented. #stewardesses #flightAttendants
“Diary of Anne Frank” stage adaptation w/ Indiana Repertory Theatre at Seattle Children’s Theatre. Anne was annoying! Peter was cute & endearing. Surprised they’d show this play to kids. I guess it’s good to teach them early. #WWII #Nazis #Jews #Holocaust
“Three Tall Women” w/ Twelfth Night Productions. Plotless play where the characters just sit around talking. Good lesson for millennials about the inevitable decline from invincible self-assured optimistic youth to senile broken mortal decrepitude. Impressive line memorization for the old lady.
