Vocal recital of Schubert's Schwanengesang August 25, 2024 at St. Dunstan's Episcopal Church

Tuesday, August 13, 2024

"Schwanengesang" by Franz Schubert
Will Schlott, Baritone with Christopher Powell, piano


Sunday, August 25 at 4pm

Join us Sunday August 25, 2024 at 4pm for a recital presentation of Schubert's "Schwanengesang," performed by baritone Will Schlott and collaborative pianist Christopher Powell. 

Will Schlott has been singing as a section leader in the St. Dunstan's choir for a little over a year, and he is currently preparing to audition for graduate studies in voice at some of the country's top programs. 

Donations will go towards application fees and audition-related travel expenses.

Schwanengesang ("Swan Song") is a posthumously published collection of the last songs composed by Franz Schubert before his death in 1828. 

Unlike a typical song-cycle which features text by one single poet throughout, Schwanengesang features text from three different poets. 

The first seven song texts are from Rellstab, the following six from Heine, and the last one being Seidl's sole contribution. 

Schubert's awareness of his declining health and approaching death during the time of writing has left these last songs steeped in palpable feelings of nostalgia, longing, and angst.

UW School of Drama announces 2024-25 Season

Friday, July 26, 2024

SEATTLE—The School of Drama at the University of Washington is excited to share our 2024-25 public season. 

We invite you to join us as we continue to showcase the creative talent of our student artists. 

This year we are presenting five productions:

The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht, The Winter's Tale by William Shakespeare, Thrive, Or What You Will by L M Feldman and two productions as part of our Producing Artists Laboratory Series. 

All of our stages are laboratories where students can apply the skills they are learning in our classrooms. To support the breadth of their learning, our season will showcase works in progress, works of varying style and genre, and classical works, intended to prepare students for the current landscape of professional theatre.

The 2024-25 public season features five thought-provoking productions, each offering a unique theatrical experience:

THE CAUCASIAN CHALK CIRCLE

By Bertolt Brecht. Translated by Alistair Beaton
Directed by Nick O'Leary
Venue: Meany Hall—Studio Theatre
Performances: November 7 - 17, 2024
Previews: November 2 & 5, 7:30 pm

A group of modern-day actors come together with real questions about justice, what is fair, and how to do right when it seems impossible. They present Brecht’s version of an ancient Chinese story with an original pop rock score to breathe new life into these questions in their quest to finding answers. This will be the culminating production for MFA directing candidate, Nick O’ Leary.

THE WINTER'S TALE

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Kate Drummond
Venue: Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse
Performances: February 13 - 23, 2025
Previews: February 8 & 11, 7:30 pm

An ensemble of performers tells a folk tale of redemption, forgiveness, and reunion. A new adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tale with original music and a highly physical movement language. This will be the culminating production of MFA directing candidate, Kate Drummond.

THRIVE, OR WHAT YOU WILL

Written by L M Feldman
Directed by Adrienne Mackey
Venue: Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse
Performances: May 22 - June 1, 2025
Previews: May 17 & 20, 7:30 pm

An epic tale about Jeanne Baret, a little-known 18th-century figure who sets out on an 11-year voyage as a botanist’s assistant (presenting male) and becomes the first woman to circumnavigate the globe. Thoughtful, funny, and inventive, it explores questions of gender, authority, accountability, and the uncredited contributions of women throughout history.

4 &5. PRODUCING ARTISTS LABORATORY SERIES

Venue: Glenn Hughes Penthouse Theatre
Winter Lab Performances: March 2025
Spring Lab Performances: April 2025

The Producing Artist Laboratory is a unique part of the School of Drama’s production structure where audience members may see more vigorous artistic risk-taking. This year we are presenting two lab productions. The Winter Lab will feature a graduating MFA director’s final project while the Spring Lab will feature first-year MFA directors and designers working alongside second-year MFA actors for the first time. Title will be announced in January 2025.

Subscriptions and single tickets will be available for purchase starting September 10, 2024.

Ballyhoo Theatre production at Edmonds Black Box Theatre: Urinetown

Harper Flynt as Hope and Peter Wujek as Bobby.
Photo by Gabriel Corey
Urinetown, a musical-comedy satire by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, has played to critical and popular success for over a decade. 

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! 

Funny and honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.

In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. 
The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. 
Amid the people, a hero decides that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Urinetown is directed by Shileah Corey and choreographed by Jordan King. Performances will be held at the Black Box Theatre at Edmonds College in Lynnwood, July19-28, 2024. For accessible sliding-scale ticketing and more information, go to ballyhootheatre.org.
