Review: Murder Inn at the Wade James Theatre in Edmonds

Friday, September 13, 2024

Murder Inn
by local playwrights, Howard Voland and Keith McGregor

September 13 - October 6, 2024
  • Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm
  • Sundays at 2pm
  • 15 total performances
Edmonds Driftwood Players
Wade James Theatre, 950 Main Street, Edmonds

Review by Kindle Carpp
Murder Inn is set in New England, at the dilapidated eighteenth-century Bardsley Inn, supposedly haunted by Marco, a knife-throwing poltergeist. A group of tourists, on a tour - Ghosts and Ghouls of New England - is forced by a storm to make an unscheduled stop at the inn. 

What looks to be an unpleasant and uncomfortable detour soon turns into a night of mayhem and madness as knives begin to pop up. As the storm builds and the body count rises, the survivors try to figure out who done it. And even more important - who’s likely to have it done to them next?

This engaging play begins when our stranded guests arrive at the Barnsley to discover it is a ramshackle inn which has closed for the season, opening only because of local flooding and landslides due to the rain. 

The proprietress maintains that the inn is haunted by her long ago murderous ancestor, while her son is skeptical that the ghost even exists.

The set design by Thomas LeClair stands out, setting the tone and scene of the decrepit inn. Look for the small details such as peeling wallpaper and water-stained walls. One aspect of the set that I particularly enjoyed was a door masquerading as a bookcase with an authentic-looking collection of books.

Everyone in this large cast performed well but there were a few actors who shone.
  • Tina Devrin embodied the exasperation of customer service when you really hate the customer.
  • Ingrid Sanai Buron embodied the mean girl trophe to perfection.
  • Jennifer Nielsen did a wonderful job of presenting as the benign and uncomplicated retired school marm who just happens to be sharp as a tack.
  • Rachael Risbell Walters really committed to her character’s kooky bit without upstaging the rest of the cast.
And the chemistry build between Olivia Alderton and Landon Whitbread was timed well and very believable. I literally caught myself “aw-ing” at their cuddling up on the sofa.

Just in time for the Halloween season you can check out Murder Inn and I promise you won’t have any reservations about the experience.

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

Friday, July 19, 2024

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.

  • Thursday, August 1 (Twelfth Night)
Performance interpreters Malcolm Reed and Jahmeca Osborne are currently undertaking the linguistic challenge of translating the Bard’s scripts alongside a Deaf Director of Artistic Sign Language (DASL).

Lynnwood is proud to partner with GreenStage, Seattle’s oldest outdoor Shakespeare Company, as well as Wooden O, Seattle Shakespeare Company’s summer program, in a collaborative effort to offer a more accessible outdoor theatre experience for Puget Sound’s Deaf and hard of hearing community members. The 2024 Lynnwood Shakespeare in the Park program is sponsored by Alderwood Terrace Rotary.

Sarah Olson, PRCA Deputy Director, has been collaborating with community members to provide better access to the City's outdoor programming for several summers. Sarah believes, “free, outdoor Shakespeare was designed to be accessible to all ages, all abilities, all incomes, in all zip codes. Through collaboration with our city’s deaf residents, this is a key step towards making sure it’s truly accessible for our region’s Deaf and hard of hearing audiences, too.”

This summer, nearly 90 productions of Shakespeare in the Park are scheduled to perform throughout Puget Sound. This includes Wooden O and GreenStage’s touring troupes performing outdoor plays and a weekend-long Seattle Outdoor Theatre Festival.

Providing interpreted shows is a milestone in Lynnwood’s 45-year tradition of hosting community events, cultural arts, and live performances at the Lynndale Amphitheatre, which is nested within the woods of the city’s largest (and second-oldest) park. 

The Lynndale Amphitheatre was renovated in 2014 to provide additional seating and remove barriers to become an ADA accessible program area.
