Games people play…

As you may already know - I am currently ASM’ing React Theatre’s latest
show WONDER OF THE WORLD playing at Richard Hugo House in Capital Hill.
The show opens this Thursday, Aug 2nd and plays through the 26th.

For those of you who like to watch light, funny, entertaining
comedies - this play is a MUST SEE! It is one of the funniest plays
I’ve seen, and I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of its wacky characters!

If you like your entertainment to have substance, and for it to
make you think - then there is a lot of depth in this play for you -
its a play about fate, coincidences, choices and destiny - and of
course, meaning of life!

And if you’re one of those who’ll come and watch anything, as
long as you can get discount tickets, then drop me an email, and we’ll
see what can be arranged for you!

Either way - whatever your
motivation, I’d highly recommend that you come check out this Seattle
premier of David Lindsay-Abaire’s play, directed by David Hsieh.

After
making a disturbing discovery about her seemingly perfect husband, Cass
sets forth on an adventure to Niagara Falls in a quest to find herself
and the meaning of Life. Along the way, she meets a suicidal alcoholic
with a giant pickle barrel, a strange pair of elderly honeymooners, and

us on a wild ride we will not soon forget.

For those of you who are familiar with ReAct Theatre’s staged reading
series every summer, skip right to the next paragraph! For the rest of
you - ReAct does a series of staged readings every summer at Elliott
Bay Book Company - these unique presentations are fully blocked, with
some costumes, set and props - but the actors have scripts in their
hand, and typically have no more than one or two rehearsals before the
show.

This Saturday, at 2:00pm, ReAct will present:

A PERFECT GANESH
                  

By Terrence McNally

Elliott Bay Book Company
                  2pm  - July 14, 2007

Staged Play Reading

                  In A PERFECT GANESH
the quest for meaning in their lives leads two middle-aged women on a
pilgrimage through India, each with her own secret dreams of what the
fabled land of intoxicating opposites will do to heal the suffering
that each hides within. McNally’s profoundly satisfying modern American
classic brings to life both a dark exotic setting and a moving inner
landscape of emotions, hopes, and lost dreams. We hope you’ll journey
with us to explore this amusing, affecting and compassionate drama.
