We went to the opening night of Teatro Zinzanni's re-opening in their original location (across Mercer street from the Opera House).
The show is even better than I remember. One of my favorites is Rachel DeShon - her character, Zinga, is bubbly and exuberant - and then she knocks you out with her operatic singing (how could that powerful voice come from such a small frame?).
Four Seattle city council members (including my Fave, Peter Steinbrueck) were present at opening night; I guess if you expedite some building permits you can get a VIP ticket to the show! ;-)
Quoted: Teatro ZinZanni vet Rachel DeShon is "Zinga" in the new show "Hearts on Fire."

click to playWe saw The Cure at Troy (SeattleRep) - which features a set made to look like a barren island. The Rep made a timelapse video showing the construction.
Quoted: See the Seattle Rep scene shop build a 16-foot high mountain in an amazing time lapse. See the mountain onstage, designed by Blythe Quinlan, in The Cure at T...

This is a Seattle home automation company (I'm an investor). They have decided to start writing an official blog for the company, so I offered to help them get it going.

The theatre is located on a quaint, tree-lined street at the north end of Broadway, at Harvard and Roy on Seattle's Capitol Hill. The building in which The Harvard Exit currently resides was originally constructed as a clubhouse for The Woman's Century Club in 1925.

Deb and I are going to see Fire on the Mountain at the Seattle Rep tonight.
Quoted: From the acclaimed creators of It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues comes a poignant, passionate musical about the lives of coal miners in the Appalachian Mountains.

Really good play at the Rep. Deb and I went last week. Only two actors; both giving very powerful performances.
Ends March 4th.
Quoted: Lewis is a sleepless mathematics professor, restless during a night of personal and professional crisis. He has inadvertently conjured his ancestors. As four generations prod him with their disquieting stories of slavery, Black Power, and academia, he begins to understand what it means to be black, both then and now.

Good show tonight. Only 4 actors - the story of a priest and suspicions that he has had inappropriate contact with boys at the church school. Well worth seeing. The power struggle between the nun and the priest very instense.
Quoted: This intense and personal power struggle between Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn ultimately calls into question both faith and justice in the shadows of this cloistered institution.

You must be Mike's friend before you can comment on this Fave.we saw her earlier this year in love and lunacy, she's got fabulous voice indeed. although, more than her voice, i remember her very full breasts. she was the only character (waitresses included) that wore practically NOTHING and we could see about 1/2 of her bottom and 3/4 of her breasts exposed at all times. i don't know if it was me but i thought that zinzani was going porn on us or something. until, as you pointed out, she enchanted us all with her fantastic voice and made us realize that it's not all about the boobs after all :)
