After “lost” seasons and months of uncertainty, the region’s theaters are reopening under challenging conditions

2021-09-21T00:38:26+00:00

In March 2019, most theaters in the Inland Northwest halted midrun for what they hoped would be a couple of months tops. That turned out to be a tad too optimistic. Only now are we starting to see the resumption of in-person,

Even though theaters have been quiet during COVID-19, that doesn’t mean the show isn’t still going on

2020-10-09T17:10:15+00:00

In the six months since statewide COVID-19 restrictions went into effect, local stages have been eerily quiet. There's been the occasional outward sign of fresh activity, such as Stage Left Theater's livestreamed adaptation of its annual Playwright's Playground festival in late August. But the casual observer could be forgiven for assuming that area theaters had resigned

COVID-19 has forced area theaters to defer their seasons and find resourceful ways to survive

2020-03-26T19:01:01+00:00

When gatherings of 50 or more were prohibited across Washington state, theaters set about the sad business of closing their box offices and clearing their marquees. Until that point, there had been a vague, if fanciful, hope that their footlights would somehow remain lit. Like so many businesses and organizations around the world, theaters across the

REVIEW: Don’t miss Civic’s take on Tony-winning ‘Murder’

2020-01-31T18:51:58+00:00

Despite “murder” already being in the title, the dark comedy musical “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” opens with “Prologue: A Warning to the Audience” – meaning that if you elect to see this play, you really can’t say you weren’t warned. The story opens in 1909 London where Lord Montague “Monty” D’Ysquith Navarro

Imagine for a moment a world in which William Shakespeare's work had never been preserved. There would be no Romeo and Juliet, no Hamlet and no The Taming of the Shrew — and in turn no West Side Story, no The Lion King and no Kiss Me, Kate.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein famously sprang from a private literary contest between Shelley, her husband Percy and Lord Byron to see who could write the best horror story. In the 201 years since it was published, her novel has gone on to be as misunderstood and misrepresented as the monster at its center. Popular imagination's green, lumbering, square-shouldered brute
