The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes – Musical – Village Theatre Watched “The Noteworthy Life of Howard Barnes.” A regular guy’s life turns into a musical (aka my-dream-come-true). Incredible talent and set but plot was kinda lacking.
Little Shop of Horrors – Musical – Shoreline Community College Watched the Little Shop of Horrors musical. The main characters were uniquely portrayed by puppets (like in Avenue Q). Sadly, the urchin ensemble desperately lacked its characteristic soul music quality.
Three Days of Rain – Play – Slate Theatre Watched the “Three Days of Rain” play on a very fitting rainy Seattle night. Angsty and full of pompous literary snobery. Really great actors though.
Native Gardens – Play – Intiman Theatre Last performance of the play “Native Gardens.” Immigrant & WASP neighbors clash over world views & property borders. Great lawyerly argument/debate dialogue. But the conflict was wrapped up too neatly in the end.
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.
