SGN Staff Writer Twelfth Night, Or What You Will Seattle Repertory Theatre September 19th-October 20th Charging Rhinos Northwest Dance Syndrome (Velocity Dance Mainstage) September 29th-30th, October 6/7th Breaking The Silence On Black on Black Violence/Conference Rainier Community Center September 21st-22nd When I moved here from Chicago, 20 years ago, I believe the Seattle Repertory Theatre was doing a Shakespeare play on it's main stage. Now, 20 years later, having seen a lot of versions of The Bard's most famous plays done every way they can be-some successfully, some not so successfully-it's nice to see The Rep doing what I know them best for. Under the steady hand of new artistic director David Esbjornsen, I'm sure I'll love The Rep's fall opener, Twelfth Night, Or What You Will, which opened this week on the main stage. Updated to the 20 century, the look will undoubtedly resemble the wonderfully whimsical film from a few years back, which featured some of Hollywood's best at the time. For more information on tickets and times, call 206-443-2222, or go to www.seattlerep.org. Also, if you haven't gotten your fill of culture for the month, and the crisp fall air is making you want to see more dance, then you should check out Northwest Dance Syndrome's production of Charging Rhinos (which plays at the Velocity Dance Main Stage, located at 915 E. Pine Street in Seattle). The show promises to be a powerhouse evening, with five new dances, and two guest choreographers, as well as a new dance film by Tyson James Theroux and NWD. For tickets and times, go to brownpapertickets.com. And finally, for those who also want to work on changing the world, if only they're little corner of it, a conference on Black on Black violence is coming to town this weekend, and the speaker, Dr. Brenda Caldwell, will give those who attend something to chew on. The conference, which focuses on issues in the community, as well as offering solutions to stopping Black on Black violence, both the physical and emotional/verbal kind, takes place over two days and should be something that'll get a worthy dialogue started in Seattle. For more information, call 206-380-1710. |
