SeattleMeg September 10th, 2008
Things to do, people to see… This fall is shaping up to be a delightful time with delightful weather. Let’s see what’s coming up!
June Carter Cash tribute, Live Girls! Theater, 2220 N.W. Market St.
Sept. 12 – Oct. 4, Fri. at 8 p.m., Sat. at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets prices for 8 p.m. shows- $15/$12 student/senior, Saturday 4 p.m. shows- All tickets $7, $5 under 18 with ID. Live Girls! commissioned three one-act plays from local and national playwrights. Each writer was asked to choose a song recorded by June Carter Cash and create a play inspired by that song. These three new plays will be produced together in one evening as a tribute to this legendary singer, writer and humanitarian. The plays include “Red Velvet Cake,” “Burn the Houseplants,” “Run Away with Me to a Lonely Spot on the Edge of a Cliff,” and “Jackson.” Visit www.livegirlstheater.org for info.
‘Susan and God’, Senior Matinee, Taproot Theatre, 204 N. 85th St.
Oct. 1, 2 p.m. In “Susan and God,” Lisa Peretti plays Susan-a bright, charming, intelligent woman at the center of the gossipy, fun social set lazing their summers away in the Hamptons. And now, darling, she’s found God. Or at least her version of him. Susan’s newest fad becomes everyone else’s newest headache until Susan receives a startling revelation of her own. Senior tickets are $20, available at the box office at 781-9707 or Ticketmaster at 292-ARTS. Taproot Theatre also offers a $2 discount for senior citizens for all performance dates during its regular season.
