SEATTLE CRITIC'S CHOICE AWARDS (JAY'S PICKS) 2022
Dear Readers, I don’t need to tell you, it’s been a crazy year. Many theaters just coming back to life or ramping up again post pandemic. But even with all the chaos, Seattle still comes up with some amazing shows from theaters large and small. Here’s a list of my personal picks for outstanding shows and performers from the past year, 2022.
Review: TITANISH at Seattle Public Theater
The Habit has done it again! First, they wowed us with their hilarious sketch comedy, then branched out into sidesplitting playwrighting with the recurring “A Very Die Hard Christmas”, not to mention their “Indiana Jones” send up. But now The Habit in conjunction with Seattle Public Theater have set their sights on that 90’s epic love story that just couldn’t be sunk, “Titanic”, with their hysterical “Titanish”. And their new show proves they know good comedy.
Seattle's The Habit Comedy Presents Its Newest Pop Culture Parody TITANISH
Titanish is a new comedy presented by Seattle Public Theater and The Habit Comedy. Conceived by director Mark Siano, creator of the new Northwest holiday classic, A Very Die Hard Christmas, Titanish is a fast-paced 80 minute parody of the three hour film. It is written by Jeff Schell and Ryan Dobosh, the team that created the hit Indy Jones and Raiders of the Last Temple of the Doomed Ark. Titanish will prove to be an unsinkable comedy.
Amy Escobar To Co-Present WE GO MAD This Fall

Phoenix Theatre Presents TWIST OF THE MAGI
Twist of the Magi starts with O'Henry's classic short story, Gift of the Magi . Then it sets it in an authentic 1940's live, on-air radio broadcast, and adds a slew of disgruntled actors, a frantic sound effect technician, a whacky female trio, a delinquent (and inebriated) Shakespearean prima donna, a jealous Italian femme fatale and a host of other broadcasting eccentrics.
TLT to Present RABBIT HOLE
Tacoma Little Theatre is proud to present its production of David Lindsay-Abaire's Pulitzer Prize winning, Rabbit Hole, directed by Suzy Willhoft.
