Behind the Curtain – Titanic: The Musical @ Tacoma Musical Playhouse (Tacoma)
Apr 8 @ 7:00 pm

Go Behind the Curtain for a sneak peek of an entertaining informative and free preview presentation prior to each of the six TMP Mainstage productions! Get a behind-the-scenes look at how our costumes, makeup, set, music and rehearsal hours all come together to make up one of our TMP Mainstage productions. Hosted by TMP’s Managing Artistic Director Jon Douglas Rake and cast members.

This is a preview event, not the show itself. Free; see info here.

 

About the show: The musical play Titanic examines the causes, the conditions and the characters involved in this ever-fascinating drama. This is the factual story of that ship — of her officers, crew and passengers, to be sure — but she will not, as has happened so many times before, serve as merely the background against which fictional, melodramatic narratives are recounted. The central character of our Titanic is the Titanic herself. Winner of five 1997 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Book and Score. Story and book by Peter Stone, music and lyrics by Maury Yeston.

Into the Breeches! @ Olympia Little Theatre (Olympia)
Apr 21 @ 7:25 pm

It’s 1942 and the Oberon playhouse had scheduled a production of Shakespeare’s “Henry” plays. The problem? Most of the men of the company have left to fight overseas. In a reversal of Shakespearean times (when men played all the female roles) the women of the company decide they will play all the male roles.

This warm and funny play by George Brant focuses not on Shakespeare or his plays, but on the WWII women who carried on, accepted others, made friends and created a community. Together they deliver a delightful celebration of collaboration, creativity and persistence when the show must go on.

Tickets ($13-$17, depending on day) here.

Senior Theatre Festival: Crave @ University of Puget Sound (Tacoma)
Apr 21 @ 7:30 pm

Crave by Sarah Kane is a poetic exploration into the intersection of trauma and love. Rather than following named characters or even a linear plot, Crave features four fragmented characters that represent equal parts of a whole human psyche. We watch as the characters hauntingly retell their stories to one another, while also desperately and hopelessly attempting to communicate their love with words we can understand. This avant-garde piece is thematic of what it means to love after a life of trauma.

Excerpts from plays selected, directed and performed by students

Significant Other @ Tacoma Little Theatre (Tacoma)
Apr 21 @ 7:30 pm

Significant Other is an unorthodox romantic comedy that celebrates the highs and lows of 20-something urban life, wedding after wedding after wedding.

Jordan Berman would love to be in love, but that’s easier said than done. So until he meets Mr. Right, he wards off lonely nights with his trio of close girlfriends. But as singles’ nights turn into bachelorette parties, Jordan discovers that the only thing harder than finding love is supporting the loved ones around you when they do. But, as they get married one by one, he is left to wonder why life won’t give him the same fairytale ending.

Apr 21 @ 8:00 pm

A celebration of the simple beauty of being human, this deeply moving and at times funny exploration of resilience is based on Cheryl Strayed’s (“Wild”) journey as the beloved anonymous advice columnist for “Dear Sugar.” Over the years, thousands of people turned to Sugar for wisdom, compassion, and hope. At first unsure of herself, Sugar finds a way to weave her own life experiences together with the deep yearning and heartrending questions from her readers.

Based on the book by Cheryl Strayed, adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos. Directed by Devin Rodger.

Titanic: The Musical @ Tacoma Musical Playhouse (Tacoma)
Apr 28 @ 2:00 pm

The musical play Titanic examines the causes, the conditions and the characters involved in this ever-fascinating drama. This is the factual story of that ship — of her officers, crew and passengers, to be sure — but she will not, as has happened so many times before, serve as merely the background against which fictional, melodramatic narratives are recounted. The central character of our Titanic is the Titanic herself. Winner of five 1997 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Book and Score. Story and book by Peter Stone, music and lyrics by Maury Yeston.

Tickets ($35) here.

This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life that will take audiences on an exciting and magical adventure for the young and young at heart.

Tickets ($35) here.

 

Into the Breeches! @ Olympia Little Theatre (Olympia)
Apr 28 @ 7:25 pm

It’s 1942 and the Oberon playhouse had scheduled a production of Shakespeare’s “Henry” plays. The problem? Most of the men of the company have left to fight overseas. In a reversal of Shakespearean times (when men played all the female roles) the women of the company decide they will play all the male roles.

This warm and funny play by George Brant focuses not on Shakespeare or his plays, but on the WWII women who carried on, accepted others, made friends and created a community. Together they deliver a delightful celebration of collaboration, creativity and persistence when the show must go on.

Tickets ($13-$17, depending on day) here.
