Team of Heroes: Behind Closed Doors, now in production at Annex Theatre, is the second part of a proposed trilogy that aims to bring the excitement of comic books on stage with a mix of humor and pathos. Unfortunately, the plays have so far leaned toward zany and wacky comedy, while paying lip service to pathos and drama.

The Star’s José Amador sits down to talk with Keira McDonald, the Solo Performance Festival founder and curator, about her role within the festival and in guiding new artists through the creative process; as well as what lies beneath her decision to leave her leadership role after six years at the helm.

By a stroke of luck, or serendipity, Seattle theatrical landscape is graced with the smart work of its women playwrights, actors and artists. Printer’s Devil’s Torso is a grand addition to those offerings.

Announcing the return of a near forgotten Seattle Theater tradition, and José Amador couldn’t be more tickled.

José Amador took in Live Girls’ world premiere production of S.P. Miskowski’s Emerald City and found as honest an exploration of the multi-faceted way one could experience our fair city as one could find on stage or screen.
