Happy opening weekend to Thalia’s Umbrella’s production of Sam Holcroft’s A Mirror at 12th Ave Arts. Timely play within a play within a play. Unexpected twists at the beginning/end. What great art never reaches the public because of compromise, influence, mentorship/censorship, or money? Closes 3/14/26.

Till We Have Faces play at Taproot Theatre for Valentines Day. The myth of Psyche & Cupid retold through lens of Orual, her sister. Impressive memorization from narrator/star Candace Vance. Well-crafted costume repertoire from Sarah Burch Gordon. Smart use of mirror blocking and reverb. Interesting themes of escapism, faith, and psychosis. Written by CS Lewis and adapted by Karen Lund.

The Heart Sellers dialogue play at Seattle Rep. Beautiful story about two immigrant women (Filipino and Korean) who transverse language/cultural barriers to form a deeply human connection in an unfamiliar land. Reminded me of the sacrifices my first-generation parents made in pursuit of a better life. Closes 2/1/26.
