"Table 17," Union Arts Center, Downtown Seattle
If your ex called, would you answer? Jada and Dallas were once engaged. Now, two years after their breakup, they’re sitting across from each other at dinner, trying to keep it casual. Good luck with that. Between a waiter with no boundaries, wounds that never quite healed, and a spark that neither one of them can ignore, this “simple dinner” is about to go off script. From two-time Emmy nominee and playwright Douglas Lyons, Table 17 is the best date night you’ll have all season. Grab your person and make a reservation
