Sold out performance to the campy rock/motown musical Little Shop of Horrors. The trio chorus was out of this world! But it’s a shame they didn’t use microphones. The deliberately genderblind casting was surprsingly mostly okay. — attending Little Shop of Horrors at Reboot at Slate Theater.
Watched the stage production of Shakespeare In Love. For a guy who hates English literature and William Shakespeare, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this play. — attending Shakespeare in Love at Cornish Playhouse At Seattle Center
Opening weekend of the musical stage adaptation of Xanadu. Valiant effort for BPA but I prefer the production by Stages Repertory Theatre. Musicality was less developed and band needed more practice.
Opening weekend of the play An Octoroon. I think they were trying to be “edgy theatre” but ended up being just bizarre. They also did whiteface, blackface, & redface. Not sure what was the point of all the offensive depictions. — attending An Octoroon at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery. Photo of set designed by Julia Hayes Welch used with permission from ArtsWest.
