Review: BLITHE SPIRIT at Seattle Rep
Dear Readers, I do love a good farce. That rollicking romp with oodles of physical comedy and improbable situations. Combine that with a good comedy of manners and it’s gold. What that spells is Noël Coward’s classic “Blithe Spirit” and lucky for us, it’s playing at the Seattle rep. And while there were a few little hiccups, the show is a laugh riot!

Review: POTUS at ACT Theatre
Dear Readers, there is nothing like live theater, especially when it all comes together. And even though Selina Fillinger’s hilarious play “POTUS or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive”, currently playing at ACT, cannot claim that it ALL came together (especially last night, but we’ll get to that), what did come together was comedy gold even with (and sometimes including) that little hiccup.
