Jenny Hall stars in What The Constitution Means To Me at Harlequin Productions
This month on Seattle area stages, there are some spooks for the holiday, and a rather large amount of brand-new works! For those who mourn Book-It Repertory Theatre, Jane Jones and Kevin McKeon are mounting a new Book-It style play on Vashon! The offerings are so varied that there must be something for everyone! Get out yer calendars!
 
Wild Man Of The Wynoochee, Key City Public Theatre, 10/3-27/24 (world premiere)
In the wilds of the Pacific Northwest, a nature-loving hermit accused of the murder of his nephew fights for his way of life and the safety of his loved ones after finding himself the target of the largest manhunt of its time.

This modern adaptation of Moliere’s classic play casts Tartuffe as a deposed televangelist who bilks Orgon and his family of their money and property and nearly compromises Orgon's wife. In a religious television studio in Baton Rouge, a southern family in the 1980s begin to recognize a taker in their midst in the form of televangelist, Tartuffe. Mayhem ensues as they recognize the danger, rise up, and remove the culprit.
