First, somebody tried to take their name -- Saturday night, somebody ripped off their cash:
During (after?) this evening’s performance of Mr. Marmalade (Mr. Kiley’s review is here) at Washington Ensemble Theatre up on 19th Avenue, the guy who was watching the cash box went into Fuel to get some coffee and while he was in there someone walked in, took all the money, and left.If you want to pitch in to help cover the loss, you can catch the last showing of Mr. Marmalade tonight at 8p and drop a couple extra bills in the bucket. Just make sure nobody walks off with it. As for the crime, this is a wacky one. Quite the opportunistic thief, no?
19th Ave-based Washington Ensemble Theater has released its 07/08 schedule. Here are the highlights according to the Seattle Times:
 There's a new show starting at Washington Ensemble Theater this week.Details on Iphigenia in Aulis: A vibrant and visceral journey from betrayal to surrender in a time of stagnant war. Physically fierce and visually stunning.It's reportedly a "textual reduction of the classic Greek myth." If you want to act out the old-school version of the play at home, here's the script. Clytemnestra gets the money lines, fyi. We recommend you plunk down your $18 and let WET do all the work. Need a bigger push? Here are a few more reasons to visit the Little Theater on 19th Ave. --j/k
We went to see The Show last night. As we have grown to expect from a WET production, it was funny and cool and silly. We warned our friends not to respond if it seemed like the actor is talking directly to you because some rube always thinks they *are* talking directly her and does that, etc. etc., blah blah. But this time you *are* supposed to respond. Oh well. It was a cool hour of theater -- kind of like having your own (smart) TV show in the neighborhood. But, why, good neighbor, were there empty seats in the teeny tiny Little Theater? Where were you? Waiting to catch the final weekend's shows, perhaps?
--j/k
Or, to be much more precise, the Washington Ensemble Theater's latest show, Never Swim Alone. WET creates cutting edge theater and make their home stage right here in the neighborhood. Show runs through Dec. 18th so don't procrastinate like we always do. Bad us.
As for attending an event the night Stranger Suggests calls it out, we are torn. Is it proof that we are cultural sheep if we go the very night Suggests told us to? Does it disprove our sheephood if we go a day early or the week following? Will there be a bigger crowd because of Suggests? A bigger crowd of sheep? Or will the crowd be small because all the cool kids don't want to be seen with the culture sheep? We're sorry to put you through this too. --j/k
As we prepare for our roles in some of the strangest dinner theater ever, here are some bits and pieces of other drama playing out in the neighborhood.
Stranger writer Annie Wagner points to her review of 19th Ave's latest drama, The Museum Play, and lists a few nearby treats over on the Slog.
Before we get to the play, Annie reviews the 50/50 bar deliciousness that is the Good Orange at Fuel Coffee. We're big fans too. Though a vegetarian, she also notes that the lamb burger at Vios looks yum. Social meat, Annie -- try it! While she says it is worth seeing, Annie is less than sanguine about Washington Ensemble Theatre's latest show: As it is, the play is more of a curiosity, a chance to hear some lovely, witty dialogue and one indulgent, simile-ridden soliloquy. Still, that's good enough for us. We're so hapy to have WET in the neighborhood, curiosity alone will bring us in the door. The Museum Play shows through Sept. 25, Th-M nights at 8:00. WET's Web site has ticket info and more. If Vios or Fuel can't fill your tummy, Monsoon or The Kingfish Cafe are nearby chow alternatives. Here's more about the play from other sites: Seattlest: ...this play may be the perfect... 
 Tucked neatly next to its little buddy, Fuel Coffee, the Little Theater is waiting for you. It knows you wander by and think about a visit. It sees you enjoying your double-short latte, reading the flyer for Swimming in the Shallows and thinking to yourself you need to see more plays.WET -- the Washington Ensemble Theater -- is giving you a good excuse to give into your longing. Its production of Shallows is a lot of fun, simply and effectively styled and authentically absurd. Not quirky. Absurd. The weird lives and loves of gen-nexters are easy entertainment and WET makes the most of the craziness of it all. Do yourself a favor and don't read the plot and casting summary until after the show. Just sit back and watch the friends go round, try not to get too uptight when the audience laughs too-hard at the simple jokes and enjoy your smug self when you find something funny that nobody else did. But you had better hurry. Shallows ends on March 6 so this weekend is your last chance to jump in. -- j p.s. -- Gosh, it...
Sometimes things just happen -- like this gorgeous owl that visited Seattle the other day. Sometimes you need to plan. Nothing replaces actually doing something better than having a list of things you could do. That's why we love event calndars. We probably won't do most of these wonderful things but there is the potential of it all to make us feel happy and fulfilled.
