ACT Theatre Debuts New Performance Space in October

ACT Theatre's popular Central Heating Lab reaches maximum capacity in October. It includes a robust schedule of favorite performances and a brand new performance venue makes this schedule possible. ACT is proud to debut The Eulalie Scandiuzzi Space, a 49-seat black box theatre that was recently renovated from its former purpose as a rehearsal room. The inaugural performance is Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead presented by Balagan Theatre. It follows the Peanuts gang through the happiness and pain that is the institution of high school in this scathingly-funny comedy.

Take Note: ACTPASS holders get to see everything listed here, including Dog Sees God, for just $25. Single tickets for all these events would add up to more than $190.

The Short Stories Live at Town Hall series returns this month at our presenting partner venue of Town Hall, located near ACT in Seattle's First Hill neighborhood. Also continuing are the popular Pinter Fortnightly series and the riveting-and free-Caught in the ACT series from TheFilmSchool. Additionally, the InterACTions lecture series returns to probe themes of the mind, being and culture with leading experts in three all-new presentations led by Kurt Beattie and special guests Jennifer Driscoll Colosimo, StuArt Smithers, and Greg Bear. A new SOIL Window Installations art exhibit opens on First Thursday, October 6th. Through the ongoing partnership with SOIL Artist-Run Gallery innovative art pieces will be installed into ACT's five 12-foot-wide windows along 7thAvenue.

On ACT's Mainstage the month begins with the continuation of Peter Oswald's surprisingly relevant and thrilling adaption of Friedrich Schiller's Mary Stuart. Then, on October 21 the world premiere of a nail-biting crime tale based on James M. Cain's famous novel Double Indemnity -adapted by long-time Seattle theatre favorites David Pichette and R. Hamilton Wright begins its run through November 20.
