We’ve Battled Monsters Before, ArtsWest,
11/26/21-12/26/21 (world premiere)
The next world premiere musical arrives from the creative
mind of Justin Huertas. When you’re the youngest sibling in a family of
secret warriors who for generations have protected Seattle from monsters and
demons, living up to your Lola’s expectations is, in a word, daunting. Adarna’s
mistakes were cute at first, but when they begin to cost her family more than she
ever imagined, she must decide what she would sacrifice to save them. Loosely
adapted from the 16th century Filipino epic poem Ibong Adarna,
playwright-composer-lyricist Justin Huertas returns to his Lizard Boy
roots with a sweet and intimate actor-musician musical adventure.
Christmastown: A Holiday Noir, Seattle Public
Theater, 11/26/21-12/24/21
In this film noir-inspired holiday thriller, hard-boiled
detective Nick Holiday investigates some un-holiday-like shenanigans taking
place in Christmastown that sends him on a search for the truth about Big Red.
Add a glamorous elf, a used-Christmas-tree salesman, a muckraking reporter, and
a quick-thinking cab driver, and you have what the Seattle Times calls the
“best new holiday romp of the year!”
Inspecting Carol, The Phoenix Theatre,
11/27/21-12/20/21
Behind
the scenes of a struggling theatre’s annual clumsy production of A Christmas
Carol, rehearsals are at a standstill. Tim is no longer Tiny, Scrooge wants
to do the play in Spanish (Feliz Navidad), and their funding is on hold pending
an inspection. To top it off, a man who asks to audition for the show is
mistaken for the inspector for the National Endowment for the Arts. The cast
caters to the bewildered wannabe actor, and he is given a part in the ill-fated
production. Everything goes wrong at the theatre that is anything but show
business as usual.
