I'm a long time fan of improv and comedy writing. It's painfully obvious someone from Jet City wrote those negative reviews about Unexpected Productions who is by far the superior company when it comes to actually improvising. Unexpected Productions revolutionized improv in Seattle. They are the reason companies like Jet City Improv exist! Whenever I'm in Seattle (which isn't as often as it used to be) I try to see an improv show. Unexpected Productions Theater Sports show is the one I recommend, hands down! Especially if you're an adult, although I've seen this group handle an audience with kids in it too. The last time I saw it there was a birthday party of kids and a birthday party for a 40 year old along with two bachelorette parties. The Theater Sports cast handled everyone with professionalism and showmanship, being sure to tease everyone as well. They even ripped into an obnoxious heckler in a very entertaining way by shutting him up and getting his friends to laugh at his stupidity! I will always be grateful to Unexpected Productions for the years of great memories they've given me and will hopefully continue to give me in the years to come.

At 10 dollars a ticket for general admission, this is a fun and inexpensive place to bring a bunch of friends on a Saturday night. The "Ninjas and Nuns" episode of the "Money and Run" series is not to be missed.

I've only been to the Vera Project once, but I was very impressed with it. If it had been around before I was 21 I'm sure I would have gone more often. It's nice that somewhere is trying to put on good all-ages shows in Seattle! They did a great job putting on the show I saw by The Evens.

I love the Paramount. There's not a bad seat in the house - the acoustics are terrific, regardless of where you're sitting and the theater itself is really beautiful. It's really lavishly restored and it feels luxurios and intimate all at the same time. The theatre is in a good location - head to the Oceanaire for an after theatre meal that will knock your socks off!

Went to see the opening of "Durang 7" an evening of Christopher Durang one acts this Halloween weekend. It was an perfect way to start the eveening off as the plays had enough surreal out this world humor. And there were even some cool costumes thrown in. It's amazing how well the plays hold together ranging from theater parodies, political satire, to somethinf unexpectedly poignant ("Funeral Parlor"). The cast is awesome and the intimate setting really makes this work as a kind of grown up cabaret. thiis will play through 22nd November so check it out. You won't be dissapointed

The Showbox is my favorite venue to see shows in Seattle (though I hear good things about the Firehouse). The place is a lot less smoky than El Corozone (or whatever they are calling it these days) and they have some pretty decent bands there, including the most rocking Mighty Mighty Bosstones show on the coast. Check it out.

More
Shakespeare, the dramatic staple throughout history, is constantly being reinvented with this great Seattle Center troupe. The plays range from the well-known Romeo and Juliet to lesser-known Shakespeare such as Love's Labours Lost. The directors are artists in that they can take dated texts and apply them to modern settings, atmospheres, and contexts. For example, last season's "The Taming of the Shrew" was an all-male cast! The gender implications of this play were vivified and magnified with this great directing risk. As always, the actors are top-notch dramatists well-known throughout the Seattle theater-world.
If you're looking to save a buck, special pre-premier shows give great rates and excellent, near-perfect productions. Check listings before the shows are reviewed in the papers to get on the special post-production, pre-premier nights.

If you want to see a plays once in a while, you should check out this theater. The prices are decent, and the seating is not bad. The theater is a bit small compared to the Hollywood type ones, but then it also means that the seats are closer to the actors. I got a chance to check out the backstage stuff, and it was very interesting. If you want, ask to see where they make their props, and you'll see all kinds of interesting but unused objects.
