Thanks so much for posting Paul. I really wanted to be there for this.
White Boy Can Take a Punch
The only thing disappointing about an evening of theatre like last night’s Hoodies Up! is that it only happens once and then it’s gone forever. I suppose that’s part of what makes it special. I certainly felt blessed to watch some truly gift actors bring back to life a cherished chapter from my ...
You guys should get a grant and tour it.
Just Bought My Tix for HOODIES UP!
Took me two minutes tops over at Brown Paper Tickets. You better do the same soon or you could be wearing your hoodie out in the cold. Here’s the all the latest updated information from producer Tyrone Brown. HOODIES UP! An Awareness and Fundraising Event for the Trayvon Martin Foundation ...
Hey Paul, did anyone get any footage of these?
Hoodies Up! - Theatre for the Right Here / Right Now
Witness if you will the reactions of two anonymous members of the community when The Stranger’s Slog recently publicized the casting call for Hoodies Up!: The Trayvon Martin Protest Plays: 1 I am skeptical there are any new insights on the Trayvon Martin affair left that theater can illuminate...
This house was such a friend to me when I lived there.

All spoken like someone who aims to get shit done.
I'm adding on a related topic, which is that my friends in the local film community feel the same way and more of it. Our local and state gvt. not only do not support local filmmaking, but seem to want to punish it as well. Actually pushing productions out of the country (B.C. Canada), that would have otherwise shot here.
I know film is not theater, but we all know that actors can support themselves best if they have access to both. The status quo towards film is a bit odd as well, when it is something that could actually bring real money into the city/state. So, a bit off topic, but the local attitude is the same in both cases.
“World Class” = Fighting Words
The third in a series of essays entitled: Towards a World Class Theatre When I started mouthing off in a more public and formalized way about the state of theatre in Seattle, I expected some blow back. This is the Northwest after all. The very same person who in real life might cross t...
