16 Wounded, Eliam Kraiem’s Provocative Drama about the Human Side of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Runs at Open Circle Theater from June 3-13

The play — a powerful evocation of a “conflict…where two sides can be clearly right" — launches the first season of a new company, People’s Theatre of Seattle

SEATTLE— People’s Theatre of Seattle, a new theatre company, presents 16 Wounded, a play about war and reconciliation written by Eliam Kraiem and directed by Michelle Haines. Performances are Thursday to Sunday nights at Open Circle Theatre, 2222 2^nd Avenue in Belltown, from June 3-13, 2010. The opening night performance is June 4 at 8 pm. Tickets for 16 Wounded are $15 and can be purchased fromwww.brownpapertickets.com.

Set in Amsterdam in the early 1990s, Sixteen Wounded examines the human side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Combining political argument, comedy and romance, the play explores the ramifications of a fateful collision that has brought together two very different men: Hans, a baker and a Jewish Holocaust survivor, and Mahmoud, a passionate young Palestinian who becomes his apprentice. After an act of violence sets their unlikely friendship in motion, the two struggle with identity and loyalty to their beliefs as well as each other. The play is a provocative and poignant exploration of the intricate roots of hatred, love and friendship.

The cast includes Zaki Abdelhamid (Mahmoud), Drew Hobson (Ashraf), Devin Kearns (Nora), Hanafi Libman (Hans) and Walayn Sharples(Sonya).

The tension between Jews and Arabs is “good conflict for a play is where two sides can be clearly right," playwright Eliam Kraiem said in a 2003 interview with The New York Times, which declared that 16 Wounded “could be the most provocative drama of the spring.” The play opened on Broadway in April 2004 (with a cast featuring Judd Hirsch, Jan Maxwell, Omar Metwally and Martha Plimpton) after having its world premiere at Long Wharf Theatre the previous year.

People’s Theatre of Seattle is a theatre company committed to building and strengthening our community by producing theatre that will start a dialogue about the issues that affect us as a community and as human beings. Founded by actors Zaki Abdelhamid and Devin Kearns, the company promotes the free exchange of beliefs and ideas, in that hope that theatre will inspire all parties involved to take a more active role in improving the world we live in. more information can be found at www.peoplestheatreseattle.org

This production is supported by a grant from the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.

Seattle Celebrates Bernstein—and his daughter too!

Jamie Bernstein visits Seattle for talks and special events

SEATTLE – Jamie Bernstein, daughter of famed composer/conductor/educator Leonard Bernstein, will be visiting Seattle for several days at the end of May and taking part in a series of special events around town as part of the Seattle Celebrates Bernstein Festival.

Jamie is a narrator, writer and broadcaster who has transformed a lifetime of loving music into a career of sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with others. She grew up in an atmosphere bursting with music, theater and literature. Her father, mother (the pianist and actress Felicia Montealegre) and their legions of friends in the arts created a spontaneous, ebullient household that turned Jamie into a dyed-in-the-wool cultural enthusiast.

Replicating her father's lifelong compulsion to share and teach, Jamie has written and produced several concerts for families and young people on the music of Copland,Mozart, Bernstein and others. The acclaimed program The Bernstein Beat, a family concert about her father modeled after his own groundbreaking Young People's Concerts, has been presented by Carnegie Hall Family Concerts, the Caramoor Festival and orchestras across the country. In 2009 Jamie wrote youth concert narration for the Philadelphia Orchestra’s Education Department entitled Music Can Morph: Folk Music in the Concert Hall. She also travels the world as a concert narrator, appearing with orchestras from Philadelphia to Minnesota, Havana to Beijing. And as a broadcaster, she has produced and hosted numerous shows for radio stations in the United States and Great Britain. Most recently, Jamie presented a series for BBC Radio 3, "Fast Machine," about the music scene in New York City.

While in Seattle, Jamie will have several speaking engagements, including talking with high school audiences at The 5th Avenue on Friday May 28 at 3:30 as part of the “Fridays at the 5th” workshop, as well as giving two “Showtalk” lectures at the Theatre on Saturday May 29 at 5:00 and Sunday May 30 at 4:30 prior to the evening performances of Candide. On Sunday May 30 she will also be giving a special pre-show chat at a SIFF screening of On the Waterfront, the classic 1954 Marlon Brando film which features Bernstein’s only score written specifically for a motion picture.

“I am thrilled to have Jamie join us for this action-packed Festival weekend,” says The 5th’s Executive Producer and Artistic Director David Armstrong. “This is a fantastic opportunity for our audiences to get a first-hand, behind the scenes view of this great American artist who galvanized both the popular and the classical musical worlds.”

On Thursday May 27 Jamie will also be attending the opening night of The 5th’s production of Candide, her father’s mid-career masterpiece. The comic and dramatic adventures of a young man as he travels the world in search of his one true love, Candide is inspired by Voltaire’s wickedly satirical novel. This musical masterpiece includes some of the greatest music ever written, with brilliantly witty lyrics by Richard Wilbur and additional lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, John Latouche, Dorothy Parker, Lillian Hellman and Leonard Bernstein himself. Candide is a cornerstone of the Seattle Celebrates Bernstein festival.

Tickets for Candide as well as season subscriptions to The 5th Avenue’s 2010-2011 Season are available by calling 206-625-1900/toll-free 888-5TH-4TIX (584-4849), at our website 5thavenue.org, and in person at the box office at 1308 5th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.

Upcoming Festival events include concerts by Orchestra Seattle and the Seattle Chamber Singers, a performance by Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus and the Season Finale at the Seattle Symphony. For more information on these and other events, go to seattlecelebratesbernstein.org.

An Uncorked Conversation: New Play Festival and Wine Tasting

Icicle Creek Theatre Festival Brings Two New Plays and Cases of Leavenworth Wine over the Mountain Pass to ACT Theatre

Laura Jacqmin and Yussef El Guindi Workshop New Plays, August 23-24

Seattle, WA – May 18, 2010 – In partnership with ACT Theatre, the Fourth Annual Icicle Creek Theatre Festival (ICTF), based in Leavenworth, Washington brings new plays by two of this country’s most talented contemporary theatrical voices, along with cases and cases of extraordinary wine from Leavenworth’s best wineries, to Seattle’s ACT Theatre, for An Uncorked Conversation: New Play Festival and Wine Tasting, August 23 and 24, 2010. Starting at 5:30 p.m., on Monday and Tuesday evenings, The Central Heating Lab at ACT hosts this first-of-its-kind event with ICTF, which allows attendees to sample more than two dozen types of wine from eight different Leavenworth wineries before moving into the theatre for an exciting new play reading by either Laura Jacqmin or Yussef El Guindi.

ICTF Artistic Director Allen Fitzpatrick reviewed countless submissions before arriving at this year’s two selections. “Experiencing the birth of a new play is thrilling and I want ICTF and ACT audiences to understand how valuable their reactions and feedback are during the play reading and workshop process. It’s vital to a new play’s development and I’m thrilled that these two plays will benefit from the sophisticated insights that Leavenworth and Seattle audiences will undoubtedly provide,” said Fitzpatrick. All the ICTF plays selected since 2007 have been developed further; four of the plays (Atomic Farmgirl, Dov and Ali, On the Nature of Dust, and Charm) have evolved to completed, fully-staged productions at regional, international, and off-Broadway houses. The two plays selected for readings at this year’s Fourth Annual ICTF are Laura Jacqmin’s, And When We Awoke There Was Light and Light and Yussef El Guindi’s Pilgrims Musa and Sheri in the New World.

In And When We Awoke There Was Light and Light, 2008 Wasserstein Prize winner Laura Jacqmin relates the story of Katie, a student desperate to get into Harvard, who meets a new friend online, David, a teenaged soldier in Uganda. Katie becomes determined to help him escape to the U.S. and asks, “If I’m trying to do something good, then what’s the harm in using his story for my application essay?” When she learns that David hasn’t been completely honest about himself, she must decide whether to abandon her ideals or trust a virtual stranger.

2009 winner of the Osborn Award by the American Theater Critics Association and 2008 winner of ACT’s New Play Award, Yussef El Guindi will present his engagingly witty and romantic new play, Pilgrims Musa and Sheri in the New World. Musa, a recent immigrant from the Middle East and NYC taxi driver, meets Sheri, an American waitress and woman with an unfortunate dating history. They fall head-over-heels in love, but their chances for making it are blocked by several skeletons in their respective closets.

An Uncorked Conversation: New Play Festival and Wine Tasting offers a rare opportunity to see a new play come to life at its first public reading AND sample much of what Leavenworth has to offer without crossing The Pass. ICTF Executive Director Shana Pennington-Baird has invited representatives from Leavenworth’s best wineries, hotels and arts organizations to cross the pass. For two wonderful evenings, folks from Icicle Arts, The Icicle Creek Music Center and The Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort and more, will set up a temporary shop in Seattle’s ACT Theatre lobby spaces to provide samples and give away loads of prizes. Participating wineries include: Silvara, Wedge Mountain, Icicle Ridge, Vin du Lac, Cascadia and more!

The acting company for the Fourth Annual ICTF will be announced in July 2010. ACT Literary Manager Anita Montgomery will serve as dramaturge for both plays. The ICTF acting company will also conduct play readings as part of ICTF in Leavenworth on August 21 and 22 at 1:00 and 7:00pm. Those readings will take place at the Icicle Creek Music Center near Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort. Overnight packages that include train transportation from Seattle, admission to the Leavenworth new play festival, and sleeping accommodations are available through Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort.

Tickets to Seattle’s An Uncorked Conversation: New Play Festival and Wine Tasting at ACT are $40 and include a commemorative wine glass, admission to the Wine Festival, and entrance to the New Play Reading. ACT Monthly and Charter Members receive free admission to the play reading and pay only $20 for the Wine Festival. Tickets and Memberships are available through the ACT Ticket Office at 700 Union Street, Downtown Seattle, (206) 292-7676, or online (festival/wine tasting tickets only) at www.acttheatre.org. Both readings are in the Bullitt Cabaret. For more information about The Icicle Creek Theatre Festival, visit www.iciclecreekact.com. For more information about ACT, visit www.acttheatre.org.

Homecomings, Gender Politics, Music, and More Take Center Stage at ACT June 2010

Seattle, WA – May 17, 2010 - ACT – A Contemporary Theatre breaks into summer with the continuation of Horton Foote’s The Trip to Bountiful and the SOIL at ACTart installations, and welcomes the Seattle premiere of the hilarious The Female of the Species by Joanna Murray-Smith. Music and festivities abound with The Love Markets and the return of The Hansberry Project at ACT’s Juneteenth Celebration, featuring a reading of Loners by J. California Cooper.

The Trip to Bountiful by Horton Foote

A Mainstage Play

Through June 6

Tickets: start at $37.50 (adults) $10/$15 (students/people 25 & under) or included for ACT Monthly and Charter Members

Initially released as a television play in 1953, and later adapted into an Academy Award winning film in 1985, The Trip to Bountiful now makes its ACT debut on the Allen Arena stage! Directed by the renowned Victor Pappas and featuring Seattle luminary Marianne Owen in the leading role, Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote’s The Trip to Bountiful is an unforgettable meditation on the idea of home and its power to sustain us. In 1953 Houston, elderly Carrie Watts dreams endlessly of returning to the home of her youth, but to do so she must first find a way to escape the supervision of an over-bearing daughter-in-law (Mary Kae Irvin) and an under-serving son (Paul Morgan Stetler). What follows is a touching and inspiring odyssey through the American landscape and the landscape of the heart as Carrie discovers the true magic of home that lives within us all. Featuring the extraordinary talents of Ian Bell, Mary Kae Irvin, Charles Leggett, Jessica Martin, Marianne Owen, Wesley Rice, and Paul Morgan Stetler.

SOIL at ACT

A Central Heating Lab Event

June 3

Tickets: FREE!

SOIL Artist-Run Gallery partners with ACT on First Thursday, June 3. Commissioned by ACT, SOIL has curated and will install two, four-month cycles of new art at ACT in the windows facing 7^th Avenue, between Pike and Union, through August 30, with the second cycle, September 6-December 31. The cycle of window displays are inspired by ACT’s 2010 Mainstage season in what Artistic Director Kurt Beattie describes as “an evolution of consciousness, a journey through the 50s to now.” Each window, viewable from both the street and inside of ACT one hour prior to each show, will address important issues relevant to each period using a limited color palette of whites and creams with one accent color and one recurring object in the style of its time. The result is a bright, fresh, rhythmic visual movement through the decades. Participating SOIL Artists: Julie Alpert (Project Director), Kiki MacInnis (Co-Director), Susanna Bluhm Callahan, Cable Griffith, Derrick Jefferies, and Timea Tihanyi. Theatre tours are also available on First Thursdays. RSVP to service@acttheatre.org the Sunday prior.

The Love Markets

A Central Heating Lab Event

June 11

Tickets: start at $12, or included for ACT Monthly and Charter Members

The Love Markets were hatched in a hot tub in San Jose during the 5th Avenue Theatre’s acclaimed touring production of Cabaret, as the brainchild of cast comrades Nick Garrison and Angie Louise, and members of their Kit Kat Klub Band. That year, they debuted at Town Hall Seattle with a mix of vintage Weimar-style cabaret and inspired originals, and a cult following was born. Clad in military lingerie, the Love Markets are decadent, subversive, stylish and absurd - highbrow enough to tackle Kurt Weill and Hans Eisler, lowbrow enough to pelt the crowd with Slim Jims during a risque duet about wiener schnitzel. Band members: Angie Louise (vocals, keys); Nick Garrison (vocals); Rob Witmer (accordion); David Marriott Jr. (trombone); Dave Pascal (bass); and Chris Monroe (drums)

Juneteenth Celebration

A Hansberry Project at ACT Event

June 12

Tickets: $50 per person (of which $30 is a tax deductible donation)

The Hansberry Project at ACT celebrates Juneteenth with a festive evening of food, drink, live music, and a reading of one of J. California Cooper’s finest plays, Loners. J. California Cooper is a playwright, novelist, and author of numerous short stories, whose contributions to the literary and performing arts is legendary. The Hansberry Project is honored to present Cooper with the first-ever Legend Award, in honor of her more than 25 years of giving voice to the African American experience. Festive attire is requested. The Hansberry Project, in collaboration with ACT, gives voice and vitality to the legacy of Black theatre. Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom, equality and excellence – ideals that form the foundation for The Hansberry Project. To purchase tickets, call (206) 292-7660 x1331.

The Female of the Species by Joanna Murray-Smith

June 18- July 18

Tickets: start at 37.50 (adults) $10/$15 (students/people 25 and under) or included for ACT Monthly and Charter Members

Directed by Allison Narver and loosely based on a true story, this hilarious satire follows the plucky, obstinate, and opinionated feminist writer Margot Mason on her descent into the tortuous territory of writer's block and the misadventures of a day gone wrong. No feminist doctrine goes unscathed when this sacred monster of the movement is taken hostage by a disillusioned disciple in this viciously funny play about gender politics.

Launched in 2008, The Central Heating Lab at ACT serves as an incubator and catalyst for new works. ACT cultivates, produces, and presents artists working in all performance genres and provides an artistic home for a variety of local performance groups and artists. Relationships develop daily with individual actors, performers and playwrights while established partnerships with groups such as the New Century Theatre Company, RAWSTOCK, Seattle Dance Project, and Icicle Creek Theatre Festival deepen. New programs are added throughout the year.

With year-round programming produced by The Central Heating Lab at ACT alongside ACT’s Mainstage season of plays, ACT offers its patrons a unique opportunity to maximize their theatre experience – the Monthly Membership, an all-access pass to everything at ACT. It’s like Netflix for theatre! For only $20 (under age 30) to $25 per month, Members can attend any ACT produced performance throughout any given month, provided tickets are available. It is flexible, affordable, and is the first of its kind in the region. There is no contract, members may cancel at any time, and there is no limit to the number of times a member can attend. For the month of June, that means a Member can see four shows, if they so choose, for only $20 to $25 vs. paying the single ticket price of at least $120 (if buyer would choose to see all four shows).

Jerry Manning Named Seattle Rep Artistic Director

Seattle, WA — Jerry Manning will become the official artistic head ofSeattle Repertory Theatre, effective July 1, the organization announced today.

After eight years as Seattle Rep's associate artistic director, Manning stepped into an interim leadership position as producing artistic director in 2008. This year Manning led the theatre through one of the most successful seasons in its history.

With those accomplishments in mind, both Manning and the theatre felt a responsibility to examine all possible options for its next artistic director, to ensure the best fit not just for the present but also for the long term.Seattle Rep worked with nationally renowned firm Management Consultants for the Arts to diligently vet 50 potential candidates and five finalists from across the country.

"On behalf of the Search Committee charged with this responsibility, I am extremely pleased at the outcome and confident that we have made a recommendation that is in the very best interests of the Seattle Rep," said Hal Strong, co-chair of the Committee.

His co-chair Brent Johnson added, "Our process that began last fall was comprehensive and competitive with qualified national candidates, providing strong assurance that Jerry was the best candidate to serve as Seattle Rep's leading artist."

Seattle Rep's Board of Trustees offered Manning a five-year contract.

Aside from his success in season programming (as evident in the theatre's critical and commercial accomplishments of late), Manning is a skilled producer, director and champion for new work. He re-instated the theatre's New Play Program, and in the last year he brought to Seattle Rep first readings of plays such as Laramie Project: 10 Years Later and Alan Alda'sRadiance and the world premiere productions of An Iliad and Equivocation.

With a strong commitment to supporting local artists, Manning has spearheaded Seattle Rep casting efforts during his tenure. He also directedboom and Thom Pain (based on nothing) and will direct next season's Of Mice and Men. Other directing credits include work at New Dramatists, New York Theatre Workshop, the Kennedy Center, The Studio Theatre, Source, Adirondack Theatre, Washington Stage Guild and Signature Theatre.

Mr. Manning began his artistic career in 1984 at Arena Stage where he served as dramaturg and casting director. He then joined New York Theatre Workshop for seven seasons, where he was alternately casting director and resident dramaturg for dozens of world-premiere works, notably Rent andQuills.

"Seattle Rep has been my artistic home for ten years," Manning said. "I am deeply honored to take the helm, and I'm glad to do it knowing that the theatre took this decision very seriously. After such an extensive search process, I am proud and humbled to accept the position."

Seattle Rep formed multiple advisory committees comprised of staff, board members, community leaders, and local artists. The final candidate recommendation was made by a designated Artistic Director Search Committee comprised of board members and local arts leaders.

Seattle Rep New Play Program presents plays by Adam Rapp, Stephanie Timm, Bryan Willis

Seattle and Bellingham, Wash. — Seattle Repertory Theatre's New Play Program presents workshops of three new plays in June—one at Seattle Rep and two at Western Washington University.

Pulitzer-nominated playwright and director Adam Rapp will be at Seattle Rep to develop and direct his new work, Welcome Home, Dean Charbonneau,about a Wisconsin family's attempt to celebrate the return of their son from Iraq (to both comic and heart wrenching effect). Public staged readings will be held June 4-6, 2010, in Seattle Rep's black box space, the PONCHO.

Later in June, Seattle Rep's artistic team will bring two playwrights and ten equity actors to Western Washington University for an intensive six-day residency. Seattle Rep's Producing Artistic Director Jerry Manning will direct Bryan Willis' Bootleg, a love story about bootleggers during Prohibition, set in 1927 Olympia. Associate Artistic Director Braden Abraham will work with Stephanie Timm on her new piece, Asleep in the Mouth of a Crocodile, which follows the comedic, epic journey of Joe, a middle-aged narcoleptic bartender with no direction in life.

A group of select Western Washington University students will observe the process, shadow members of the artistic team, and participate in workshops with the directors and playwrights.

"This is the first time Seattle Rep has done a residency quite like this," said Manning. "We're excited to bring these two amazing plays to Bellingham, to help develop such exciting new work from local playwrights, and to do it with the next generation of theatre makers in the room with us."

Similarly, Seattle Rep's New Play Program workshopped Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig's play Lidless with the University of Washington's School of Drama in February.

A limited number of tickets for Welcome Home, Dean Charbonneau are currently on sale for $15 through the Seattle Rep Box Office at (206) 443-2222. Tickets for the Western Washington University residencies will be available through the WWU Box Office at (360) 650-6146 orboxoffice@wwu.edu. Admission is free.

Memphis Gets Some Tony Attention!

5th Avenue co-production gathers eight Tony nominations

SEATTLE, WA –This year’s Tony nominations include a healthy showing for a musical developed last year at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre during its pre-Broadway run: Memphis. A co-production between The 5th and La Jolla Playhouse, this original musical by David Bryan (music and lyrics) and Joe DiPietro (lyrics and book) tells the story of a white DJ whose love of black music helped bring about the birth of rock n’ roll.

Memphis has been nominated for Best Musical, Best Book (DiPietro), Best Original Score (DiPietro, Bryan), Best Actor in a Musical (Chad Kimball), Best Actress in a Musical (Montego Glover), Best Costume Design (Paul Tazewell), Best Direction of a Musical (Christopher Ashley), and Best Orchestrations (Daryl Waters, Bryan).

In addition to these nominations, Memphis has also received nominations for seven Outer Critic Circle Awards (including Best Musical), seven Drama Desk Awards(including Best Musical), two Drama League Awards (including Best Musical), and two Astaire Awards, giving it the most award nominations of any show on Broadway this year.

Chad Kimball, who plays the role of DJ Huey Calhoun, is a Seattle native and a graduate of Roosevelt High School, whose acclaimed musical theatre program led by Ruben Van Kempen has produced dozens of theatre professionals in the last 30 years. Playing his great love Felicia is Montego Glover, a Chattanooga Tennessee native who was described as a “powerhouse” by the Seattle Times.

New York critics have declared Memphis “an exuberant musical with classic values…immensely gratifying” (New York Post), “the very essence of what a Broadway musical should be” (AP), “an original, authentic, and extraordinary show (Newsday) and “the biggest hit on Broadway this year or any other year!” (WOR Radio)

This strong showing for another musical developed at The 5th Avenue helps bolster the Theatre’s reputation as one of the preeminent companies in the country for new musicals. Over the past 10 years the 5th Avenue has produced nine new musicals, including the Tony-award winning Hairspray and the upcoming Broadway musicalCatch Me If You Can. This commitment to new musicals will continue in the 2010-2011 Season with our productions of A Christmas Story and Vanities, two new musicals that will receive developmental productions at The 5th.

Season subscriptions to The 5th Avenue’s 2010-2011 Season are available by calling 206-625-1900/toll-free 888-5TH-4TIX (584-4849), at our website5thavenue.org, and in person at the box office at 1308 5th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.
