Continuity: A Play in Six Takes – Mini Review – Blue Hour Theatre

Bess Wohl’s Continuity – A Play in Six Takes by Blue Hour Theatre at 12th Ave Arts. Sharply written/executed dialogue. This production thoroughly melted away my initial skepticism of the premise. Fascinating, meta-theatrical experience bringing the chaotic filmmaking process to a live stage medium. Only 2 chances left tomorrow before they “lose the light” and close for good! 🎬🎭

Who All Over There – Play – Mini Review – The Ensemble Theatre

Torie Wiggins’s Who All Over There? play at Houston’s Ensemble Theatre! Joy Yvonne Jones & Robby Matlock star in this commentary on interracial romance. Nifty sitcom-style intro. Endearingly awkward meet-cute and 1st date. Surprising use of AI. Curious how a gender-flipped version would hit. Closes 5/31.

You Will Get Sick – Play – Mini Review – Sound Theatre Company

Noah Diaz’s You Will Get Sick play with Sound Theatre Company in TPS Center Theatre at Seattle Center Armory. Sobering, random, symbolic preview of our inevitable mortality. Terrifying glimpse into a potential future of being a prisoner in your own body. Critique at the profit-driven transactional nature of healthcare. Unique integration of closed captioning that emphasized the sheer volume of dialogue actors memorize verbatim! Health is wealth y’all! 🎭🏥

Walden – Play – Mini Review – ArtsWest

Caught Amy Berryman’s Walden play at ArtsWest. Futuristic, dystopian, post-apocalyptic world staged in the middle of nowhere. Lush green foliage filled the set (by Adair MacCormack) while the play quietly asked hard questions about our planet’s environmental trajectory. Themes of want, lost/changed dreams, duty, and listening to yourself hit universally. Josh Kenji Lagager delivered a hilariously random animal skinning scene. Marena Kleinpeter and Porscha Shaw rounded out the cast. Closes 5/3/26.
