Science! Comedy! Death! Comedy! September Shows Announced at 18th & Union
18th & Union is back from summer vacation. We're welcoming back our good friend Ricky Coates, formerly based in Seattle. Ricky and his performing partner Sadie Bowman offer two combustible mixtures of science and musical comedy. And, we'll host a new production of Jeffrey Hatcher's Three Viewings, a play that shows that even in mourning we can have a sense of humor.

BWW Reviews: Hard Hitting WE ARE PROUD … from Pony World Theatre
The current production from Pony World Theatre may not be everyone's cup of tea. I mean it's already got a few things that may make people shy away. One of the longest titles in theatrical history to start, “We Are Proud to Present a Presentation About the Herero of Namibia, Formerly Known as Southwest Africa, From the German Sudwestafrika, Between the Years 1884-1915” by Jackie Sibblies Drury. Or how about that it's about a little known genocide? In fact I wasn't sure how I was feeling about it as it tended toward a little preachy and esoteric. But this odd and very hard hitting play ended up having so much going for it, not the least of which was it's cast, that it amounted to quite a moving experience.

BPA Theatre School Fall Showcase Set for 11/5 & 7
In Ricky Coates' The School of the Dead, the dead have risen, and an unlikely band of middle school students find themselves trapped in the school theater. Futures uncertain, they attempt to survive as best they know how, or at least as best as pop culture has taught them. This zombie-styled production pays homage to the classics in a delightful mix of comedy and thrills!
