The Drama Squirrel is back with some much needed theater recommendations for this upcoming weekend.
For this week my fellow drama squirrels, we’ve got some pretty amazing shows on the docket that you should consider immersing your intellect in before heading out for the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Yes, Julie Taymor is still on trial and Broadway is continuing on with yet another production of ‘Death of a Salesman’, but here in Seattle there are two amazing shows that look promising. Promising is such a short word that can only be defined with an explanation on opening night when the tigers are released into the wild.
Start off your theater infused weekend with WET's opening night of "Stuck" which is based on a true event.
“Stuck” at Washington Ensemble Theater. Opening on March 16th and running through April 9th. Thursdays through Mondays at 7:30pm. All performance are at The Little Theatre (608 19th Avenue East). Tickets range from $10 to $25 and can be purchased online here. Written by Jessica Halto and directed by Sarah E.R. Grosman. Cast includes Alex Matthews, Kay Nahm, Qadriyyah Shabazz, Chris Maslen, and Jill Snyder-Marr.
Amy doesn’t leave the bathroom and Daniel doesn’t pay the bills on time. Their love deepens with every episode of Matlock and heightens with every bong rip. Together these career underachievers are the perfect couple. But when the landlady gets suspicious of their overflowing mail, everything they’ve been hiding from starts stacking up on their couch. Can they weather the storm of letters from Spokane, Howie Mandel’s germaphobia and some seriously toxic leftovers? Or will their refuse break them apart?
Mark Siano brings "Modern Luv" to The Triple Door before making their New York City debut.
“Modern Luv” by Marxiano Productions at The Triple Door. March 15 at 7:30pm, 16 & 17 at 7:30pm and 10:30pm. Music and Lyrics by Mark Siano & Opal Peachey. Book by Jeanne Lee. This is a special three day presentation before Mark Siano takes this comedy musical to New York City. Produced by Mark Siano and Donna Stewart. Music Direction by John Kranz. Featuring “The Enablers” band. Cast includes Mark Siano, Opal Peachy, Hillary Gault, Kimmie Durham, David Swidler, Madison Greenlund, Luke Thayer, and Jeremy Adams. Purchase your tickets today.
In a world where texting, emailing, Facebooking, and “liking” have usurped traditional romance, two modern lovers go in search of something real. Through the internet, Mark Siano, who fancies himself Seattle’s god of soft rock (dancing around in an 80s sparkletard), strikes up an unlikely long distance relationship with east-coast hard rocker Opal Peachey. Despite their obvious differences, technology helps them find they’re not so different after all. Problem is, no one is who they pretend to be online.
