Ticket On Sale Date Announced for WHERE WE BELONG at Seattle Rep

Seattle Rep today announced complete casting and the single ticket on sale date for their season opening production of playwright Madeline Sayet's, Where We Belong. Starring Madeline Sayet (Executive Director, Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program; Playwright - Up and Down the River, Antigone or And Still She Must Rise Up) and under the direction of Mei Ann Teo (Associate Artistic Director and Director of New Work at Oregon Shakespeare Festival), Seattle Rep is thrilled to give their audiences a chance to witness this insightful journey across geographic borders, personal history, and cultural legacies in search of a place to belong. Single tickets will go on sale August 8 at 12:00 p.m. PT online at SeattleRep.org, or by calling the Patron Services Office at 206.443.2222.

In Where We Belong, Mohegan theater-maker Madeline Sayet travels to England in 2015 to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare. Madeline finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its ongoing role in colonialism, just as the Brexit vote threatens to further disengage the UK from the wider world. In this exhilarating solo piece, Madeline echoes a journey to England braved by Native ancestors in the 1700s following treatise betrayals - and forces us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.
