Zombie Caesar Directed by Shana Bestock

Can you ever really kill tyranny, or will it rise from the dead more powerful than before?

Caesar used to be the leader everyone wanted. But now his huge ego threatens to become maniacal. So his trusted advisors decide to kill him, inciting the citizens to riot in support of a new regime led by Caesar's one true friend, the noble Brutus. But Caesar won't stay fully dead - he shows up as a zombie, scaring the citizens, plaguing Brutus, and wreaking havoc. Will Brutus be able to restore peace, or will zombie-driven chaos consume the country?

Shakespeare's classic, original text resonates with contemporary teens learning to navigate by their own ideals through a media-driven, peer pressure cooker time of life. See our youth and middle schoolers in their element!

The Book of Days by Lanford Wilson

When murder roars through a small Missouri town, one woman begins her own quest to find truth and honesty amid small-own jealousies, religion, greed, and lies. This tornado of a play propels you through its events like a page-turning mystery. From a master American playwright (Fifth of July, Talley's Folly, and many others). Directed by Shana Bestock

There's still time to see Mauritius!

Mauritius is a gripping new play from the Pulitzer-prize winning author who's been called "a female David Mamet." Surprisingly, stamp collecting is risker than one might think. Jackie and Mary are half-sisters whose mother's death leaves them in possession of a rare stamp collection. But which sister actually ownds the stamps? Which of three dealers can be trusted with the sale? Directed by Russ Banham, Mauritius features Mark Fullerton, Heather Hawkins, Joseph P. McCarthy, Carolyn Marie Monroe and John Murray.

2010-2011 Season now on sale!

Seattle Public Theater invites audiences to follow a diverse cast of characters as they chase money, glory, success, and love in the 2010-2011 season at the historic Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake.

The Season opens with Theresa Rebeck's suspensful thriller, Mauritius, running October 1st - 24th.

Start the new year with the rueful family comedy, My Wonderful Day by Alan Ayckbourn, running January 28th - February 20th, 2011.

What does it mean to be truly happy? Explore the meaning March 18th-April 10th, 2011 in the tragically funny drama The Happy Ones by Julie Marie Myatt.

SPT-s season wraps up May 20th-June 12th with the a fresh look at George Bernard Shaw-s charming and delightful classic, Arms and the Man.

An SPT season would not be complete without a holiday treat. This year, SPT introduces the fresh, funny and moving Jacob Marley-s Christmas Carol by Tom Mula running December 3rd-24th along with the ever-popular The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, running December 10th-24th. Both shows are add-ons to SPT-s regular season, but surely not to be crossed off that holiday list!
