Seattle-Area Performance & Art
Shows from the 14/48 Projects are hit-or-miss; and much more so when dining is involved. But the current installment of ‘Food Thunderdome’ at Café Nordo — which started tonight and runs only through this weekend — includes an excellent lineup or artists across all disciplines, and the show (and accompanying four-course meal) hits all the right notes.
Award-winning theatre-maker Valerie Curtis-Newton is the director of the currently running, critically acclaimed production of ‘Nina Simone: Four Women’ at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Curtis-Newton talked with NWTheatre about her vision in staging the piece, and artist-activism more generally.
Highlights this week included superstar-packed shows in a cabaret and a concert-style musical; the continuation of a new play festival; plus, the upcoming long-awaited Kim’s Convenience at Taproot, and the latest from Reboot Theatre.
