Thalia's Umbrella To Produce World Premiere By Local Playwright Y York

Thalia's Umbrella announces their fifth production: The Impossibility of Now by Y York. The Impossibility of Now will be performed March 8-31, 2018, at 12th Avenue Arts on Capital Hill.

What do you do when your spouse gets conked on the head and wakes up with a terrifying new personality: optimistic happy person?

About Thalia's Umbrella
Thalia's Umbrella is a collaboration between Producing Artistic Director Terry Edward Moore and director Daniel Wilson, to produce plays that dance on the line between comedy and tragedy, taking the light of life seriously and the serious lightly, to create a space where, in Robert Frost's words, "the work is play for mortal stakes." Thalia's first two productions, A Day in the Death of Joe Egg and A Lesson From Aloes, each received a Footlight Award from the Seattle Times. Moore was a co-founder of Seattle Shakespeare Company, and served as Co-Artistic Director there for six years. He has acted and/or directed for most of the professional theaters in the Pacific Northwest, as well as theaters from coast to coast. Daniel Wilson has directed plays professionally from New York to Alaska, and has directed opera in Oregon, Alaska, and for Cornish College of the Arts.
