Reasons To Go To Federal Way: Kate Flannery and Jane Lynch

May 2, 2026• byMichael Strangeways

August SEEMS like it’s a long ways away but…is it? If you enjoy a ‘sassy evening’ of comedy and cabaret and you adore funny ladies Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery, then you probably need to book your tickets to see them in their new show, THE TROUBLE WITH ANGELS, asap. It’s happening on Sunday, August 23rd, at the Federal Way Performing Arts & Event Center, 31510 Pete von Reichbauer Way S, in beautiful Federal Way, Washington…a place I’m vaguely familar with, location wise…somewhere to the south by southwest of Seattle I believe. (vague wave in that general direction).

Of course we know and adore Jane from her Emmy Award winning role on “Glee” (and all those roles in Chris Guest movies). And, lovely Kate Flannery was a part of the huge ensemble for ‘The Office’ as goodtime gal Meredith. Please check them out!

Bold, brassy, and unapologetically entertaining—Jane Lynch and Kate Flannery take the stage together in The Trouble With Angels, a smart and sassy evening that’s equal parts cabaret and comedy.

From classic songs to sharp-tongued banter, these longtime friends and collaborators serve up powerhouse vocals, impeccable timing, and delightful surprises at every turn. Think vintage glamour with a wicked sense of humor—like the Rat Pack, only rewritten by two fearless leading ladies.

It’s joyful. It’s cheeky. And it’s a little bit naughty—in the best possible way.
