SYNOPSIS
The Threepenny Opera is a biting satire of the post-war rise of capitalism, wrapped up in Weill’s jazzy score, and the tale of Macheath (Mack the Knife), a debonair crime lord on the verge of turning his illegal empire into a legitimate business. When Macheath marries young Polly Peachum, her father is enraged.

Character List

  • MACHEATH - An infamous crook known across London for his violent crimes. Nicknamed “Mackie the Knife,” Macheath is dapper, genteel, and uncharacteristically squeamish when it comes to blood. He profits from his antiestablishment sensibilities and from his friendship with the London sheriff, Tiger Brown.
  • JONATHAN JEREMIAH PEACHUM - The proprietor of “The Beggar’s Friend.” Conniving and hypocritical, Peachum outfits poor men as panhandlers to evoke extra sympathy and then demands a percentage of their profits. He trusts no one, not even his wife and daughter. When he learns that his daughter, Polly, has married Macheath, he is sure that his new son-in-law will hurt his business.
  • CELIA PEACHUM - Peachum’s wife and Polly’s mother. Celia Peachum is uninterested in her daughter’s happiness. She faints when she hears the news that her daughter has married Macheath but only because she feels the effort she put into her daughter should have yielded a marriage of a higher caliber. Later, she reveals her sense of feminine wiles and how they triumph over even the strictest bourgeois morals.
  • POLLY - The Peachums’ daughter and wife of Macheath. Polly marries Macheath but leaves his side shortly thereafter, when she learns he is wanted by the police and must go on the lam. Polly seems innocent, especially when compared to her conniving parents, but as the play progresses, she reveals her greedy side.
  • JACKIE “TIGER” BROWN - London’s chief of the police. Brown is as corrupt as the criminals he supposedly battles: He even directly profits from their crimes. He and Macheath met as fellow soldiers in the Indian army and have a business deal they both profit from. Brown is torn between feelings of responsibility for his position and allegiance to his friend, so he comes across as weak willed and greedy.
  • LUCY - Daughter of Brown and lover of Macheath. Like Polly and Jenny, Lucy has been having an affair with Macheath. The mere fact of the relationship reveals that Macheath has betrayed not only his best friend, Brown, but also his new wife, Polly. When Lucy learns about Macheath’s marriage, she reveals that she is pregnant and implores Macheath to be with her and help take care of their child.
  • GINNY JENNY - Prostitute and former love of Macheath. Though she was once in love with Macheath, she is now one of many prostitutes that live together in the brothel in Wapping. She still displays affection for the criminal, but she can now be bought to act as an informant.
  • SMITH - The constable at the jail. Smith exemplifies the corruption that runs rampant through the entire police force.
  • REVEREND KIMBALL - The reverend who appears at Macheath’s wedding celebration to Polly and later at the gallows. His lines give the impression that he very well may be a beggar or a thief himself.
  • MATTHEW - One of Macheath’s thieves, nicknamed “Money Matthew.” Macheath reprimands him for taking credit for burning down the children’s hospital when Macheath is the one who set it on fire.
  • JACOB - Another one of Macheath’s thieves, nicknamed “Hook-Finger Jacob.”
  • ROBERT - Another one of Macheath’s thieves, nicknamed “Robert the Saw.”
  • WALTER - Another one of Macheath’s thieves, nicknamed “Wally the Weeper.”
  • ED - Another one of Macheath’s thieves.
  • SUKY TAWDY - A prostitute Macheath sleeps with and stays with when he escapes from jail the first time.
  • FILCH - A beggar whom Peachum enlists as help after Peachum makes him pay up for illegally pleading for money on his territory. Filch feels guilty taking money from other people, which is his chief means of generating income.

Seattle Musical Theatre returns to the Shoreline Center with Miracle on 34th Street

SMT starts new season with new artistic director in new venue


It’s a season of change at Seattle Musical Theatre. After fourteen years at Magnuson Park, the company is moving back to the Shoreline Center.

THE SEASON

For the 42rd season, SMT will stage three musicals, one classic and two contemporary.

2019-2020 Season


Miracle on 34th Street - December 19 to 29, 2019

Based on the beloved 1947 film, this 1963 Broadway hit by Meredith Wilson, creator of “Music Man,” comes to life on stage in this new holiday production.

Filled with such beloved songs as “Pinecones and Hollyberries,” “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” and finally answering the question: “Is Kris Kringle really Santa Claus?” this heart-warming musical is pure family entertainment and the perfect present to fill everyone’s stocking.

Evening shows at 7:30pm on December 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28 and matinees at 2:00pm on Dec 22, 28 and 29.


Rock of Ages - February 7 to March 1, 2020

ROCK OF AGES is a rock musical in which a small town girl and a city boy meet (it’s love at first sight) on the Sunset Strip in 1987 while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. The glam metal/heavy metal music of the 80’s saves a once famous club, their budding romance, a fading rock star and old dreams.

Built around classic rock songs from the 1980s, the show features songs from Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Steve Perry, Poison and Europe, among other well-known rock bands. Rock out, head bang, and sing along with this electric production.

Evening performances at 7:30pm on Feb 7, 8, 14, 15, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29 and matinees at 2:00pm on Feb 9, 16, 23 and March 1.


In the Heights - April 17 to May 3, 2020

IN THE HEIGHTS (book by Quiara Alegría Hudes and music and lyrics by “Hamilton” creator Lin-Manuel Miranda) explores three days in the characters’ lives in the New York City Latino neighborhood of Washington Heights. Through the infectious music of hip-hop, salsa, merengue and soul music, the story brings to vibrant life the joys, sorrows, struggles, successes, and the ultimate perseverance that comes with being a family, a neighborhood, a community. Experience life: In the Heights.

Evening performances at 7:30pm on April 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30 and May 1 and 2. Matinees at 2:00pm on April 19, 25, 26 and May 2, 3.

SEATTLE MUSICAL THEATRE – HISTORY

Seattle Musical Theatre (SMT) was founded as Seattle Civic Light Opera (CLO) in 1977 by a group of Seattle opera enthusiasts, including Joan Galstaun and Barbara McHargue. With a keen interest in offering theatre to North Seattle communities, they pooled personal resources, located a venue above a music store in Northgate, (Heritage Theatre), and launched CLO’s first season with German composer Johann Strauss’ “The Gypsy Baron”.

By 1978, the venue was running at capacity, so the troupe moved to the 750-seat auditorium in the Jane Addams School in Lake City. In response to audience requests, CLO began including contemporary musicals as part of their 1980 season. CLO remained at the Jane Addams stage through 2002 until the K-8 program moved into the building.

From 2002 to 2004 CLO operated, temporarily, from the Shoreline Center, while pursuing a contract for the theatre in Magnuson Park. It was during this time (2004) that a rebranding campaign for SMT was launched. In 2008 the new Seattle Musical Theatre moved into Building 47 of the Historic Magnuson Park with a 10-year lease.

When the City of Seattle decided to put the building out to bid in late 2018 to attract investors, the SMT board began a venue search that brings the company back to Shoreline Center for the 2019 holiday season.

Shorecrest Drama presents sci-fi musical comedy Be More Chill

Tuesday, October 22, 2019


Shorecrest Drama is excited to present Be More Chill — a fresh, hilarious sci-fi musical comedy about finding out who you are and where you belong. 

Uncool Jeremy thinks he’s found an easy route up the high-school social ladder: the SQUIP, a nanocomputer-brain-implant-inside-a-pill, will direct him how to dress, act, and generally how to “be more chill.” But when the SQUIP leads him astray, how far will Jeremy venture from friends, family, and his true self --- just to fit in?

Be More Chill is considered PG-14 for strong language and mature themes/content. It is NOT recommended for children 12 and under.

Be More Chill will run from Thursday, November 14, through Sunday, November 17, and again the following weekend, Thursday, November 21 through Sunday, November 24. Evening performance times are 7:30pm on Thursdays-Saturdays; matinees are at 2:00pm each Sunday.

Advance ticket prices are $12 ($10 for students with ASB) in person or by phone. Day-of-show tickets are $15 at the box office. Please note that seat selection is possible only with in-person advance ticket purchase.

To purchase tickets in person, visit the Shorecrest High School ASB window on weekdays between 8-3:30pm. They accept cash, check, or credit card at the ASB window. Please avoid in-person purchases during student/ASB-staff lunch, from 12:10 to 1:30pm each day.

To reserve tickets by phone, call 206-393-6190. This is a voicemail-only line which will be monitored frequently. Phone reservations will be assigned best-available seats. Patrons may collect and pay for these tickets (by cash or check only) at will-call on the day of the performance. Please be advised that we will not return voicemails left on this line or otherwise reach out to patrons to confirm phone reservations.

Destinations: Kitsap Forest Theater presents Newsies - with cast members from Lake Forest Park

Thursday, May 30, 2019

Newsies is a hit musical about the 1899 New York newsboys strike
Photo by Alfonso Barrera

By Diane Hettrick

Not only does the current production of Newsies at the Kitsap Forest Theater include four members of the Pettiross family from Lake Forest Park, the producer is a long-time Shoreline resident!

The Forest Theater, just outside of Bremerton on the Kitsap peninsula. is a beautiful place.

A quarter-mile trail transports visitors to another time and place where stories for all ages have come to life since 1923. The presentation of our spring show coincides with the blooming of the wild rhododendrons that grow along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. 
Generations of theatergoers have enjoyed the scenic drive or ferry ride to the theater, and often come early to picnic under the firs before the trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm. Enjoy the treehouse play structure or hike to Big Tree before or after the show.

I haven't been there since it was called the Mountaineers Theater but I still remember the deep forest and the 8 foot tall rhododendrons. The theater is in a deep, natural amphitheatre surrounded with rows of natural seating built into the hillside. The "footlights" are ferns. The whole thing is in the middle of a 460 acre rhododendron preserve.

The Pettiross Family of Lake Forest Park is hooked on the Forest Theater.

Last year the dad and daughter, Jeff and Clara, 12, appeared in their first shows at Kitsap. For Peter Pan Jeff was a pirate and Clara was a lost boy. For the summer show, they both appeared in the ensemble of Tuck Everlasting. During their time at the theater, the Mom, Vicki, and son Kuran, 16, volunteered as ushers and Kuran even began learning about running the sound board.

The entire family had so much fun being part of the theater in the woods that they decided they should all audition for the 2019 season. For the spring show Jeff is appearing as Mr. Pulitzer, Vicki is the Mayor, and both kids are Newsies in the ensemble. It has been a great bonding experience to do theater together and more special by being out in nature.

The producer for the Mountaineers is Gala Lindvall of Shoreline. She has been producing shows at the Forest Theater since 1999 but has been going to the shows since 1987. She says that living in Richmond Beach makes it easy to get to the Edmonds ferry - but be sure to go early during the summer months.

It's a family affair for the Lindvalls too. Gala's husband Brian Lindvall is also in the show, playing Bunson, who works in Pulitzer's office.

Five more chances to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Monday, December 10, 2018

For many, seeing a live production is a holiday tradition. Here's one you might have overlooked.

The Seattle Musical Theatre has been producing quality musicals for 80 years.

They were previously known as Civic Light Opera and changed their name when they realized they were more about musicals than opera.

They are located in a stand-alone building in Magnuson Park, with plenty of free parking. 

Magnuson Park, 7120 62nd Ave NE, Seattle 98115.

The holiday production this year is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

It's based on the old testament story of Joseph and his jealous brothers. It is family friendly (in spite of what his brothers do to him). It is unusual in that it has only a few lines of dialog - the music carries the story.

Remaining performance dates:

Thu Dec 13, 2018 7:30 PM
Fri Dec 14, 2018 7:30 PM
Sat Dec 15, 2018 2:00 PM
Sat Dec 15, 2018 7:30 PM
Sun Dec 16, 2018 2:00 PM

Tickets are available online

25th annual Putnam County spelling bee comes to Edmonds

Tuesday, April 5, 2016

Jon Woods as Panch, Ireland Woods as Logainne (Schwartzy), Dakota Daley as Barfee, Laura McFarlane as Olive, Michael Yichao as Chip and Mason Beaver as Mitch.

Edmonds Driftwood Players prepares for a riotous ride complete with audience participation. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of musical comedic genius.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a musical comedy which centers on a fictional spelling bee set in a geographically ambiguous Putnam Valley. Six quirky adolescents compete in the Bee, run by three equally quirky grown-ups. As our spellers compete, flashbacks and insight reveal personal details about each of them in this musical that explores the idea that winning isn’t everything.

Director Pauls Macs says of Spelling Bee: This is one of my very favorite musicals. There's nothing else like it in the musical theatre canon. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, the show lovingly plays with musical theatre conventions, and the audience participation makes each performance unique. I'm so grateful to Edmonds Driftwood Players for letting me tell this story. Only one speller can be champion, but each of the contestants learns what it means to be a winner at our bee.

About the Playwright: Conceived by Rebecca Feldman with music and lyrics by William Finn, a book by Rachel Sheinkin and additional material by Jay Reiss. Feldman, the conceiver of Spelling Bee won a Lucille Lortel Award, Drama Desk and Tony Nomination for Best Musical for her work. She directed the world premiere in the summer of 2004. Sheinkin has written book for a number of musicals and earned a Tony award and a Drama Desk Award for best book of a musical for Spelling Bee. She teaches musical theatre writing at Yale. William Finn is an American composer and lyricist who has won many awards including those for Bee.

Parental Advisory: Contains Explicit Content

Shorecrest musical opens November 12 - Once On This Island

Wednesday, November 4, 2015



Shorecrest Drama is kicking off a big, two-musical season with Once on This Island. This musical features a beautiful score (exquisitely rendered by these talented young voices!) and a poignant folk legend at its heart, but most movingly, it's all about what it means to pass stories along. As such, it gets at essential humanity, and you can be sure of that listening to "Why We Tell The Story."

After a disaster, a community joins together to comfort a child through song and story. In the folk tale they weave (of "Little Mermaid" ilk, with Caribbean flavor),Ti Moune, a peasant girl, rescues Daniel, a wealthy boy from the other side of the island, and falls in love with him. 
Unbeknownst to Ti Moune, the gods who preside over the island make a bet with one another over her fate. Ti Moune pursues Daniel, who has returned to his people, and her journey tests the powers of social-class differences, death, and ultimately, love.

Shorecrest Drama's Once on This Island will run from Thursday, November 12, through Sunday, November 15, and again the following weekend, Thursday, November 19, through Sunday, November 22. Performance times are 7:30pm on Wednesdays-Saturdays, and 2:00pm on each Sunday of the run.

Tickets are $15 at the door, or $12 when reserved in advance. Ticket reservations online, where you will find the option to either receive your tickets by mail, or at will-call on the day of the performance. Shorecrest Performing Arts Center is at the north end of the Shorecrest campus: 15343 25th Ave NE in Shoreline.

Audition/Casting announcement for “BIG FISH” - the Broadway Musical, produced at Shoreline Community College

Monday, January 12, 2015


Actors, singers, and dancers are invited to join the team that will produce the Northwest Premiere of the just-off-Broadway hit – Big Fish. This will be one of Shoreline’s largest productions to date!

Produced by Charles Enlow, with stage direction by Teresa Thuman and choreography by LeeAnn Hittenberger, Big Fish is based on the popular novel by Daniel Wallace and the Columbia Pictures film directed by Tim Burton.

The musical tells the story of Edward Bloom – a traveling salesman who lives life to the fullest – and his bigger-than-life tales that delight everyone, except his only son, Will. About to have a child of his own, Will is determined to discover the real truth behind his father’s tall tales.

Music and lyrics are by Andrew Lippa (Wild Party, The Addams Family); the book is by John August (Big Fish the Movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory).

Big Fish is overflowing with passion, humor, and dazzling special effects and reminds us why we love going to the theater — for an experience that is richer, funnier, and BIGGER than life itself.
