Taproot Theatre Opens its Season at Restored Greenwood Playhouse With Production of THE GREAT DIVORCE

In two weeks Taproot Theatre opens its 2010 Season at its newly-restored Greenwood playhouse with the regional premiere of 'The Great Divorce.' Performances will run from January 27 to February 27, 2010.

The Great Divorce - C.S. Lewis' fantastical work springs to life in this electrifying regional premiere. One drizzly afternoon our author embarks on a supernatural voyage with a cast of eccentric, humorous characters that bear a remarkable resemblance to us. Theatrical, imaginative and thought provoking. It's a bus ride through heaven and hell that, in the grand C.S. Lewis tradition, leaves you breathless and wanting more. By C.S. Lewis, adapted by George Drance & The Magis Theatre.

All performances are held at Taproot Theatre, located at 204 N. 85th St. in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood. The 226-seat theatre is wheelchair accessible.

Performances take place Wednesday through Saturday evenings, with matinees on Saturdays. Ticket prices range from $22 to $35; plus, Taproot Theatre offers a $10 ticket for ages 25 and under during its regular season, discounts for students and seniors, group rates for parties of eight or more, and one pay-what-you-can performance for each production. Subscription packages are still available; subscribers save up to 18% over single ticket prices, plus enjoy great benefits like priority seating, discounts on additional tickets and free ticket exchanges.
