"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?
