BWW Review: Reboot Theater's PRIVATE LIVES Very Witty, Slightly Wonky
Elyot (Kit Lascher) and Sybil (Alysha Curry) are on honeymoon in the French Riviera. It's 1930. They're sipping cocktails, calling each other 'dahling' in that quintessential, leftover-from-Britain way of speaking. Sybil has already mentioned Elyot's ex wife, Amanda, but Elyot reassures Sybil that she has nothing to worry about.

BWW Review: Spooky THE LOST GIRLS at The Annex Theatre Misses Forest for Trees
Quarter-life crisis is the new midlife crisis, and the characters in The Annex Theatre's 'The Lost Girls' are suffering. What's the point of spending so much on a college education in the liberal arts only to work at a summer camp and move back in with your parents? On top of the expectations of the modern woman, the expectations of the modern post-grad woman are grim.
Theater Schmeater to Continue Free for the Family Series with RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY
Theater Schmeater continues its long running Free For the Family series of park shows with Raggedy Ann and Andy, by Patricia Thackray. A rag-tag band of discarded toys gather to find new children to be played with in this hilarious take on the Raggedy Ann and Andy children's books. Not just for children, Thackray's script includes problems and situations familiar to any adult, who will delight in the everyday humor-what do you do with a misplaced and lonely camel, for example?
BWW Review: The Annex Theatre's MY DEAR MISS CHANCELLOR Slays with Rapier Wit
When I heard that The Annex Theatre was putting on a play about a 19th century club of fencing lesbians, I figured I was in for a night of camp and euphemisms. Although that direction would have surely been entertaining, Elizabeth Hershly's world premiere of My Dear Miss Chancellor by Caitlin Gilman was coreographed with elegance, charm, and a rapier wit.
BWW Reviews: TAPHOUSE at The Ballard Underground
The old adage “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans,” would be an ideal tagline for local playwright Kiki Penoyer's TAPHOUSE, an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's THREE SISTERS.
BWW Reviews: STC's SCHOOL FOR LIES Forces Comedy with One Joke
If I wanted to watch people sniping at each other with no discernible plot or story then I'll watch reality TV. Unfortunately that's what the latest outing from Sound Theatre Company, 'School For Lies', felt like. David Ives' adaptation of Moliere's 'The Misanthrope' felt like such a contrived and one-note exercise in insults that I may have well have been watching the Real Housewives in verse. True the cast commits to the style but the style they've adopted is so forced and flat that I felt beaten over the head with the humor to the point that I didn't care about any of the characters.
Sound Theatre Company to Present David Ives' THE SCHOOL FOR LIES, Begin. 8/7
Sound Theatre Company will launch into raunch and ruffles this summer with the Seattle premiere of The School for Lies by David Ives, co-directed by Teresa Thuman and Ken Michels. This saucy update of Moliere's The Misanthrope by Tony Award-nominated David Ives (Venus in Fur) stuffs contemporary off-color slang into the classic baroque farce, in which rivals scheme romance to expose a notorious cynic. A few cunning lies set party girl Celimene and acerbic wit Frank up for battle and sex. Misbehavior, gossip, glamour and scandal reign in this clowning burlesque written in rhymed couplets.
