Three Men on a Horse (staged reading) @ Valley Center Stage (North Bend)
Apr 19 @ 7:30 pm

Three shady gamblers who have no visible means of support spend their time in a bar reading the daily racing form and figuring which horse to bet that day. They come across information about a rather meek, married man who is a greeting card verse writer and whose hobby is reading the sports page and picking horse race winners. He is very, very good at picking winners. He, however, does not gamble and has never placed a bet. The three men capture the greeting card poet and get him drunk and persuade him to pick winners for them. His wife and father-in-law try to rescue him and bring him home.

Written by John Cecil Holm and George Abbott. Directed by Bob Callaghan.

A staged reading means there is not a full set, but lights, sound and some costuming will be incorporated. Actors dramatically read from scripts to present the full story.

The Plague Master General – Blue Hour Theatre @ West of Lenin (Seattle – Fremont)
Apr 19 @ 8:00 pm

The Plague Master General (a bubonic comedy), is a bitingly funny and cynical look at a kingdom that handles, mishandles, and ignores an impending and obvious catastrophe.

It’s the mid-1300s (give or take) and a deadly plague no one understands is engulfing Europe. Thankfully, they’ve found someone who’s going to cure it: Lord Aguilar. Is he a doctor? A learned man? A debonair hero with charisma and a can-do spirit? Absolutely not. But thanks to a powerful baron, his terrifying wife, and a doctor-priest who couldn’t be bothered one way or the other, Aguilar now has a life-or-death responsibility for which he is entirely unqualified.

This new dark comedy mashes The Crucible with Monty Python to explore the dangers of hubris, apathy, and blind faith in the healing power of leeches. Written and directed by Greg LoProto.

Location: West of Lenin (203 N 36th St, Seattle)

Tickets are pay-what-you-choose ($25 suggested), here.

The Lehman Trilogy @ ACT (Downtown Seattle)
Apr 26 @ 7:30 pm

The Tony Award®-winning Best Play makes a thrilling Seattle debut after a triumphant run on London’s West End and Broadway. The Lehmans began as many American immigrants did in the 19th century: on a cold dock in New York City 1844 as a young Jewish man enters his new country for the first time. Joined by his two brothers, he lives the American Dream: from humble beginnings to outrageous success. 163 years later, that legacy—The Lehman Brothers—comes crashing down, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. How? Why? This extraordinary feat of storytelling invites us to question what success is worth, how legacy is defined, and what we value in the wake of devastating collapse.

ASL interpreted and audio described performance on 5/11 (matinee); see info here.

Previews 4/26-5/1; opens 5/2

The Lehman Trilogy @ ACT (Downtown Seattle)
Apr 30 @ 7:30 pm

The Tony Award®-winning Best Play makes a thrilling Seattle debut after a triumphant run on London’s West End and Broadway. The Lehmans began as many American immigrants did in the 19th century: on a cold dock in New York City 1844 as a young Jewish man enters his new country for the first time. Joined by his two brothers, he lives the American Dream: from humble beginnings to outrageous success. 163 years later, that legacy—The Lehman Brothers—comes crashing down, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. How? Why? This extraordinary feat of storytelling invites us to question what success is worth, how legacy is defined, and what we value in the wake of devastating collapse.

ASL interpreted and audio described performance on 5/11 (matinee); see info here.

Previews 4/26-5/1; opens 5/2

Limited number of pay-what-you-choose advance tickets available for each performance. Rush tickets ($20) offered for all performances, if available. See discount ticket information here.

Almost, Maine @ Tacoma Little Theatre (Tacoma) (PWYC)
May 9 @ 7:30 pm

Welcome to Almost, Maine. It’s love. But not quite.

Almost, Maine is a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States — it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just … Almost. One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same.

Written by John Cariani. Directed by Rick Hornor.

Accessibility: Pay-what-you-choose performance on 5/9. ASL interpreted performance on 5/12.

Fat Ham @ Seattle Rep (Seattle Center)
May 11 @ 7:30 pm

Juicy, a young queer Black man, has a lot on his plate.

Fresh from its Broadway debut, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet is a sparkling and uproarious new comedy about seeking love and liberation.

Written by James Ijames. Directed by Timothy McCuen Piggee.

The Lehman Trilogy @ ACT (Downtown Seattle)
May 11 @ 7:30 pm

The Tony Award®-winning Best Play makes a thrilling Seattle debut after a triumphant run on London’s West End and Broadway. The Lehmans began as many American immigrants did in the 19th century: on a cold dock in New York City 1844 as a young Jewish man enters his new country for the first time. Joined by his two brothers, he lives the American Dream: from humble beginnings to outrageous success. 163 years later, that legacy—The Lehman Brothers—comes crashing down, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. How? Why? This extraordinary feat of storytelling invites us to question what success is worth, how legacy is defined, and what we value in the wake of devastating collapse.

ASL interpreted and audio described performance on 5/11 (matinee); see info here.

Previews 4/26-5/1; opens 5/2

Limited number of pay-what-you-choose advance tickets available for each performance. Rush tickets ($20) offered for all performances, if available. See discount ticket information here.
