    The space is really cool. Lots of space on stage for dancers and definitely a unique space of Seattle.

    I would had never known there was a performance art stage located in Queen Anne until HUMP 4 was held here.

    And Seattle has "a vibrant local theater scene"?…read more ***** This group, despite its central location and relative regional importance, is not very responsive to the community it ostensibly proposes to be an integral part of. I've been trying for years to write a one-act play entitled "10 Years a Coolie: Living in Seattle Public Housing," which I truly believe would be topical and have insights into the social dynamics and seemingly intractable problems of this little understand community. Too controversial ("too diverse, too different"). So I finally wrote a message asking to whom or to what othe organization I could turn to for information on local playwriting (classes, groups, etc.), as my efforts to connect had failed up to this point. But I got no response. Not even, "sorry, we appreciate your inquiry but are not in the position of providing you with..." It sounds like a group that is quite insular, notwithstanding its self-image. As in the hip local parlane, "it [that] sucks."

    TPS is a rental space on the fourth floor open to the public. They have many rooms that cater to…read moredifferent needs, usually all performance art related. To rent you just go online and submit a form. It's only around 10$ an hour and as long as no one has the space after you you can usually stay longer. I would recommend renting a space because these rooms can fill up and hallway practice is lame. I come here weekly for improv meet ups and it's great. Mirrors on one side of the wall, wooden floors, the furniture is pushed to the side which gives you the freedom to set the room. It's always generally unmonitored so we've had little soirees here and eaten food. It's minus a star because sometimes the other users are really noisy (large dance groups that rattle the floor) and sometimes the staff may forget to provide a key and are difficult to reach on site.

Seating is comfortable for a long show, with good sightlines from where I sat. I also enjoyed the outdoor areas -- nice spots to hang out before the performance and a pleasant pre-show atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. One improvement: there are no elevators, which can be difficult for those with mobility issues.

    We recently had our second trip to the Paramount, and it was as delightful as the first!…read more My wife, son, and I went to see John Mulaney recently, and it was quite a delightful show. We were up pretty high in the second balcony, but still had a good view of the show. This is the sort of theater, where the higher up seats are closer to the "you get what you pay for" type seats than other places, we've been. This is a big enough theater that it does make a difference. Not a bad thing, just something to know. The acoustics here are lovely., And at least when a comedian is going, the sound is spot on. I will say, they've got the snacks and bar thing down. I think there were four total refreshment stations available across the number of different levels the lines moved quickly, and they had a good number of drink options, including alcohol and nonalcoholic beverages. I also appreciated the option of gummy bears! Everybody loves gummy bears! Unless you're communist. Then you probably like the sugar-free ones... Look up the review on Amazon! A wonderful theater, and one that you should check out if you have a chance.

    Seattle has so many venues and festivals that celebrate the arts…read more I happen to read about about the Seattle Reperatory at Bagley Wright Theater completing a major overhaul for a new show. Literally, that evening I bought tickets online for the 2pm show for "Here Lies Love". Missed out on getting U2 tickets, so this is a spontaneous splurge. Scored on street parking diagonal from the venue on 4/16/17, which was sheer luck since our tickets were held at will call and no late seating. Darn Seattle traffic! Lots of anticipation leaning against the stage and loved the huge sparkly disco ball. Photography was strictly prohibited, so couldn't get a snap to share. The show presented the life of Imelda Marcos, former First Lady of the Philippines. Being of Filipino descent, this intrigued me. My lone trip to the PI in 1978 brought back some of the imagery of that era. Nasty, corrupt, excessive political times, but also the love of all things beautiful. Parts had me conflicted because this was based on actual history. But like living under today's administration, hope and happiness can happen from living in the moment. I thoroughly enjoyed being on the main floor (versus the balcony and reserved seating) and having the production in one's face. I even held hands with the actor who performed as Ninoy Aquino. Music, bright costumes, lights, glitz, videography, amazing stage, and lots of dancing! Reminded me of carefree nights of going to clubs from another lifetime. A major gamble for this venue to take this on, but kudos for bringing this innovative production to Seattle. Totally different, energetic, and loved that the entire ensemble were people of color. Talented people that looked like me! This was also a first theatrical musical that I brought The Homie. He enjoyed attending and wasn't even embarassed that his mom was shaking and shimmying wholeheartedly. The 90 minutes flew by! Fun times created by David Byrne and Fat Boy Slim.
