Mrs. Loman Is Leaving @ ACT Contemporary Theatre (Seattle – Downtown)
Beloved Seattle playwright Katie Forgette returns to ACT with this world premiere first featured at ACT’s inaugural New Works Northwest Festival. This delightful backstage comedy unfolds on the opening night of the Teacup Theatre’s production of Death of a Salesman where two actors, returning after years away, find themselves grappling with more than just their roles. The stage becomes a platform for dramatic antics and witty repartee as the characters confront uncomfortable truths about identity, representation, and the stories theatres choose to tell — blurring the lines between reality and mania in this hilarious yet thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.
