Arson Nicki Gets “Fresh” at 18th & Union…plus more awesome July shows

July 3, 2017• byMichael Strangeways

freshDrag

We j’adore the 18th & Union theater and cabaret space which is so conveniently located at…

18th and Union, that betwitching top of Capitol Hill that’s the dividing line between Capitol Hill the ‘hood and the Central District.

They’re programming a nice mix of longer running shows from interesting small theater companies plus one offs and cabaret type shows from a host of talented local folks.

The line-up for July 2017 features all sorts of talented types including locals like the divine Rebecca Mmmmm Davis, Francesca Betancourt and duo fringers, Christine Longé and Tom Spangenberg but also out of town tours from Ashland Oregon based troupe, Puppeteers for Fears with their Cthulhu: the Musical show.

It’s a fun mix of: “Burlesque, Drag, Cthulhu and More”

More poo:

Our June shows are wrapping up, and a whole new crew is moving in. July at 18th & Union features burlesque, drag, a comic book adventure, storytelling, and a sci-fi puppet horror musical. That’s right: something for everybody!

The Adventures of Rocketman and Beano

written and performed by Christine Longé and Tom Spangenberg

Holy comic books, Beano! Watch as Maggie and Stuart re-enact the “original” superhero saga with song, dance, and epic mis-haps. Think Lucy and Desi doing Batman and Robin with a dash of Shakespeare. Cheer on and laugh at these superheroes (super-idiots?) in their quest to avenge injustice! A hit at the 2017 Seattle Fringe Festival.

Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, July 7-15

Monday, July 10 at 7:30pm

Tickets: $12-$25

Opening Friday, July 14

FRESH

curated and hosted by Arson Nicki

A new drag show for new drag artists. It’s a non-competitive launch pad for emerging talent. It’s a refresh button for a scene that could use a new perspective or two (or eight).

Friday and Saturday, July 14 and 15, 9:30pm

Tickets: $10-$22

cthulhu

Opening Friday, July 21

Cthulhu: the Musical

Lovecraft, the show tells the story of his most famous creation: Cthulhu, a giant, malevolent, octopus-faced elder god who hibernates beneath the ocean, communicating to humans through their dreams, slowly driving them mad. On tour from Ashland, Oregon, where Cthulhu: the Musical ran to soldout houses.

Friday – Monday, July 21-24, 8pm

Tickets: $12-$25
