Geek of the Week

From Joanna, Communications Manager


Seattle Rep's Assistant IT Director and resident tech goddess Heather (left) is Seattle P-I's Geek of the Week! I knew she liked Buffy, but this Q&A reveals the depths of her delightful geekiness: Star Trek, muppets, something called a 'Prelate Wizard," and years of making her own Ren faire costumes.

A staff meeting at the Stranger

From Joanna, Communications Manager

Maybe my favorite press quote ever...The Seattle P-I (yeah, the P-I) wrote this about boom.

"Putting these collections of contemporary anxieties together steeps a wild brew of rampant hostility, wit, gay sensitivity and harsh feminine snark in a confined space. The end of the world, it turns out, looks like a staff meeting at The Stranger."

Joyride

From Joanna, Communications Manager

There's a preview article about boom in the Seattle P-I today. Director Jerry Manning talks about the show and his role as Producing Artistic Director of the Rep, now and beyond.

"I'm the only person who can do this job right now," Manning said without hubris, and is glad to lend his history and credibility to the theater. But he recognizes that long-term survival will require new blood.

When his work is done, he said, "It's time to give the keys to the kids."

Woohoo! Joyride!

One more thing...

Oh wait, one more thing and then really, I'm leaving. I saw The Cook on Friday, and it is one of my favorite plays I've ever seen at the Rep. I know you may be inclined to not believe me since I am biased, but here's the P-I's review and here's the Times.

If nothing else, know tickets are going fast, and if you want to see it, you should get your tickets now. It's the perfect show to bring your family, you know the ones who are in town and smothering your existence crammed in your house.
