This KOMO news piece turned out well.
In the hopes of championing ACT Theatre, which I love, I mentioned them dozens of times. I tried to weave ACT into whatever they asked about. “Yes, I DO love living downtown, especially because I can, spur of the moment, catch innovative theatre at ACT with my cool ACT Pass.”
The play Lieutenant of Inishmore came up (of course) as well as the Pinter Fortnightly series and Lady with All the Answers (Ann Landers) and Caught in the ACT (readings).
Was I too obvious? Somehow, all those mentions ended up on the digital version of the cutting room floor. A friend of mine had a great suggestion; he said, “Next time, write ACT Theatre across your forehead. They are bound to have to explain that?”
By the way, the ACT Pass is a monthly program. You pay $20 or $25 per month depending upon your age, and you can go to as many plays as you want and bring guests for greatly reduced rates (often 10 bucks). ACT Theatre is the first theater in the country to present such an option partly due to having four stages active in the building. You can catch a Mainstage play, an InterACTions lectures, the Caught in the ACT series of screenplay readings from the Film School, New Works for the America Stage, Pinter Fortnightly, a dance performance, The Central Heating Lab productions, the Moisture Festival (burlesque), the RAWStock short film festival and of course…music.
You can visit the art pieces I left for you by visiting the old Eagles Safe on the lower level and opening a few drawers.
