"House of Joy," Seattle Public Theatre, Green Lake
In an Imperial Harem, in a place like India, in a time like 1666, distant and yet familiar, the women of the court live on an idyllic estate protected by an all-female guard. Men cannot enter the House of Joy and the women cannot leave. Witness a story of loyalty, betrayal, oppression, politics and romance told with language, movement and spectacle.
Limited $10 "Art is For Everyone" tickets available for each performance. Click here for tickets and more info.
"Illusion," Seattle Central College, Erickson Theatre Off Broadway, Capitol Hill
The Illusion is theatre at its most delightful! Entertaining, witty, fast-paced, and provocative, Tony Kushner’s adaptation of Pierre Corneille’s 17th century comedy revels in the magic which unites the alchemist’s world with our own. Stupefied as we all are by the never-ending spectacle which has come to dominate our daily lives, we often fail to see that all power is merely a kind of performance. Theatre is the playful logic of that power, and if you feel like you’ve been needing a reminder of, or initiation to, its inimitable magic, then come participate in The Illusion, and be sated.
General Admission tickets are $10. Click here for tickets and more info.
"The World Looks Different Sitting Down," Seattle Public Theatre, Green Lake
From the dark alleyways of Hollywood to surprising celebrity engagements, the life of a working actor is filled with highs and lows. Add a wheelchair into that mix, and you enter the world of Teal Sherer, an actor, mom and disability advocate living a normal, extraordinary life as a wheelchair user. The World Looks Different Sitting Down is a tale of confronting the world at crotch level to bust open misconceptions and limitations. Whether it's falling in love while learning to surf or navigating mommy groups who were all about pushing strollers, Teal tells her story with humor, candidness, and vulnerability. Audiences will leave the show with an expanded view of disability in the world as they witness a fight to not be inspirational but simply to be seen.
