| What The Constitution Means To Me with Cassie Beck (Joan Marcus) |
As we go back to school somewhat normally, and fall weather
starts to get a bit more cloudy and damp, Seattle theater companies are bringing
back more and more productions! This month, we get some major plays people have
been hoping to see (Choir Boy, in a co-pro of ACT Theatre and 5th
Ave, my favorite tour play by ex-local Heidi Schreck – What the Constitution
Means to Me) and world premieres! And we get a gift from stalwart company,
Theatre22, as they bid us adieu (maybe just for now).
Where We Belong, Seattle Rep, 9/8/22-10/9/22
(tour from Woolly Mammoth Theatre Co)
An indigenous theater-maker, Madeline Sayet, journeys to England in 2015 to pursue a PhD in Shakespeare. She finds a country unable to acknowledge its ongoing role in colonialism. Madeline echoes a journey to England braved by Native ancestors in the 1700s following treatise betrayals – and forces us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.

Avenue Theatre, 9/9/22-10/1/22 (world premiere) (opens 9/22)

Nonsense and Beauty, Theatre22, 9/9/22-10/2/22,
at The Bathhouse (T22’s last show)
The play follows the eminent British novelist E.M. Forster as his romance with Bob Buckingham, a policeman 23 years his junior, falls prey to his fear of discovery. After Bob marries May, a compassionate young woman, Forster remains ensnared in a turbulent and unique love triangle until his death nearly 40 years later. Based on a true story, Nonsense and Beauty captures the wit and wisdom of one of the last century’s great writers.
