Balagan Theatre Joins GreenStage's Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival 7/11, 7/12

GreenStage's Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival is thrilled to announce the inclusion of a new company to our Festival! Direct from the Fremont Troll, Balagan Theatre will be bringing their Taming of the Shrew to our Second Stage, located just north of the Asian Art Museum.
The Seattle Outdoor Theater Festival is now in its 9th season. The festival began as a cooperative venture between GreenStage, Theater Schmeater, and Wooden O Productions, and quickly became the launching pad for Seattle's Outdoor Theater scene. In 2008, the festival management was taken over by GreenStage.

GreenStage Producing Artistic Director Ken Holmes points out the advantages of central management for the festival:

"Having a festival celebrating outdoor theater is a fabulous thing, but with no central leadership, it was difficult for the festival to grow. By having a single company managing the details, coordinating staging and information becomes much easier. GreenStage is the perfect candidate for the job - we have been producing outdoor theater for over 20 years, and know how to make theater in the park work - especially in a park we have been performing in for 17 years."

This year's schedule includes ten performances of nine productions by seven local theater companies.
