 WELL
by Lisa Kron
Richard Hugo House
May 2 - June 1, 2008
A Northwest Premiere!
The hilarious new play by acclaimed writer and performer Lisa Kron, WELL is her fantastic and funny semi-autobiographical exploration into health, family, activism and community. Poor Lisa. All she wants to do is put on a nice, orderly little play about her family, growing up, and how she got cured of her illness. But her mother keeps interrupting, offering snacks to the audience and interjecting her own versions of Lisa's story. A terrific new show for anyone who's ever had a mother.
"Wonderful and delirious. Well has warmth and accessibility that make you want to recommend it to everyone." --The New York Times
"Cunning, uproarious and exhilarating." --Village Voice
"A drama of depth, infectious humor and great humanity. Riveting." --The San Francisco Chronicle
Please don't miss this show!

"Perestroika is a masterpiece." --New Yorker

 DEFIANCE
by John Patrick Shanley
Ethnic Cultural Theatre
September 12 - October 5, 2008
A Northwest Premiere!
The second drama in John Patrick Shanley's trilogy which began with the Pulitzer Prize-winning theatrical smash DOUBT, DEFIANCE is set in 1971 at a military base where officers clash over issues of race and morality. As the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War divide the world outside, the struggle for power and authroity rages within the hallowed halls of America's Marine Corps. Don't miss this timely and thought-provoking new play.
"Spellbinding...Shanley has followed up Doubt, the best play of 2004-05, with a play if identical quality." --The Wall Street Journal
"An absorbing, thoughtful, intelligent work...a very rich and satisfying piece." --Variety
"As thoughful and probing as Doubt. Defiance is filled with the provocative questions and bristling dialogue for which Mr. Shanley is known." --The New York Times
