BWW Review: Radial's WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT Takes a Visceral Emotional Journey

Dear Readers, there's not much I can tell you about Nassim Soleimanpour's searing play, 'White Rabbit Red Rabbit' currently having it's Northwest Premiere at 18th and Union from Radial Theater Project. I'm unable to tell you about the play not because I don't remember but because you shouldn't know in advance. That's part of the show. I urge you not to Google any information about the show.

BWW Review: STAGEright's TOXIC AVENGER " Fun but as Solid as Toxic Waste

There's nothing wrong with a bit of mindless fun at the theater. Some of my happiest memories are sitting in a darkened theater laughing hysterically at Mormons or man eating plants or oversexed puppets. But while the fun in those instances may be base and mindless they were all still backed up by a well crafted and well put together show and that's where "The Toxic Avenger Musical", currently being offered from STAGEright, falls flat. Sure, it's goofy, in your face, over the top fun but appealing to our love of things a little bit gross and repeatedly calling someone a slut cannot replace good writing and pacing.

Dr. Emile Allen's EATEN BY THE TIGER Just Released

We all have problems in life; but imagine, after years of hard work and study to become a prominent surgeon, something goes horribly wrong in the operating room and, in an instant, your life is forever changed. It's normally the patient that's at risk of a complication in the operating room, not the doctor. However, one day as Emile Allen, M.D. was operating to save a woman's life, he barely escaped being electrocuted and nearly died. He remembered hearing a voice telling him: "I'm not ready for you yet. You have more work to do." He had no way of knowing the challenges he would face or how many times he would hear those words…
