"The Things Around Us," Intiman Theatre, Broadway Performance Hall, Capitol Hill

The Things Around Us is a dazzling new work from acclaimed multi-disciplinary artist, Ahamefule J. Oluo, that layers live music and narrative exploration to create an introspective evening about the things that connect us all. It is the third in a trilogy of shows from Oluo, following NOW I’M FINE and SUSAN.

In the show, Oluo uses looping technology, trumpet, clarinet, vocals, cardboard shipping boxes for percussion, and other instruments to create an expansive symphony performed live by one person. Weaving narrative layers throughout, Oluo shares deeply personal reflections and darkly humorous accounts of strangers, acquaintances, and friends that conjoin with the music to create a singular, transcendent experience. The Things Around Us is an evening that will draw you in and remind you of the beauty in life.

Intiman distributes 20 Free for Everyone tickets at the box office on the day of the show on a first come, first served basis starting 1hr before curtain. Remaining seats after the 20 free tickets are distributed are sold at rush pricing of $30/each.  Click here for showtimes and more info.  

"Hungry," Sound Theatre Company, Center Theatre at the Armory, Seattle Center

“We are what we eat.” It’s a mantra that devours the relationship of two Brits who are first united by a love of food: Bex, a working-class Black waitress who know the world isn’t her oyster, and prefers to slurp down Top Noodle than try the upscale delicacy. Then there’s her white girlfriend Lori, a chef with big dreams to fix up (read: gentrify) a humble chicken shack with high-concept, hard-to-pronounce fare.

Soup’s not the only thing simmering; it’s got a powerful, hidden base of class, race, appropriation, family nostalgia, and righteousness. In the two-hander HUNGRY, opposites attract… but preparing meals with good intentions may be the very thing that poisons relationships.

"Proof," InD Theatre, Rolling Bay Hall, Bainbridge Island

On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, confronts how she has spent years caring for her brilliant and unstable father Robert, a famous mathematician.

Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, the arrival of her estranged sister Claire, and the attentions of Hal, a former student of her father's who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that her father left behind.

Over the long weekend that follows, a budding romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—will she inherit?

"Super Nothing," Miguel Gutierrez, On The Boards, Belltown

How can a dance speak to the overwhelming and constant grief that undergirds our lives?

Super Nothing is a new dance performance by Miguel Gutierrez that works with archive to see how our past can provide a blueprint for a more rigorous honesty in the present. The piece is danced by performers from New York and Los Angeles. How do the dynamics of an art-making process reflect or deny the dynamics of life outside the studio? How is choreography a reflection of the desires, insecurities, and personal investments of the people in the room? How can a dance speak to the overwhelming and constant grief that undergirds our lives? 

bell hooks writes that, “Moving, we confront the realities of choice and location.” Thinking about movement in both the dance and geographic sense of the word, this piece engages with our ideas about place/home, time, history, and the strength and failings of “community.”

"In the Next Room (The Vibrator Play)," Seattle Open Arts Place, Central District

Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity in a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife Catherine tries to tend to their newborn daughter-and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient, Sabrina, and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.
