A Streetcar Named Desire
At the Intiman
July 9th - August 2nd
Tickets and Information available online or by phone (206) 269 - 1900
Before the show even begins, the audience is transfixed by the beautifully designed set (Thomas Lynch) that appropriately creates the atmosphere for the story about to unfold. The two-story house skeleton construction compliments the action that is already taking place. The lives of the characters and the mood of New Orleans are already taking shape. As the patrons are settling in the seats, a piano tune artfully creeps through the din and peacefully calms the audience as if this silence was part of the script. With such a display completing the pre-show atmosphere, the magic, awe and delight of the Intiman Theater’s A Streetcar Named Desire ignites the stage.
Atmosphere is a vital part of this show’s design as vocalists, pianists and other actors and characters constantly float through the background of the action, not hindering the main interactions but appropriately bringing to life spring, summer and early fall, 1947, New Orleans. The commentary that these vignettes portray skillfully pulls the audience deeper into the lives of the characters, and makes the human truths and realities more apparent. In one scene, the upstairs neighbors react to the action talking place below them, and their subtle fight and tortured resolution adds a strong element to the action already taking place, enhancing the strength behind the message and creating its own powerful truth about the character’s relationships.
Complimented by skilled lighting design (L.B.Morse) and costumes (Frances Kenny), the story was subtly supported from all angles giving the action a strong foundation to build these damaged soul’s lives. Streetcar’s genius comes from the skill of taking an everyday atmosphere of human experience and presenting its reality to the audience. It all takes place in one setting, and the plot points are very basic, but the words and truths about human lives are so entrancing to the human’s point of view. This reality is so well supported by all the design elements in this production that the audience is allowed to fall into these people’s lives and experience their world as true and real.

With a great cast of actors to bring this classic to life, the world of these well-known personalities is created. Notable performances were had by all, and specifically Angela Pierce as Blanche Dubois who instigated a deserved standing ovation at the end of the show. This show is a treasure in itself and its integrity is well supported in this current production. See Tennessee William’s Pulitzer Prize winning Masterpiece come to life in this explosive, lyrical show running July 9 – August 2 at the Intiman.

NEW THEATER - NEW SHOWS!
EIGHT TO ONE
Presented by LERT
LERT, a new group in town, has created three original plays, each about 10 minutes long, that deal with the fallout from the war in Iraq, the psychological effects it is having on soldiers and civilians and what the war is really costing us. The plays will be performed on:
Friday, July 18
Saturday, July 19
Friday, July 25
Saturday, July 16
ALL AT 7PM
It is FREE and open to the public and will be performed in the back parking area of
737 Belmont Place East, Seattle, WA 98102.
To get there from Broadway:
turn down Roy
When the road curves to the right, you'll see a street that is harder to the right - take that - it's Belmont Place (if you stay on the curving road, it will take you down to Lakeview/Eastlake - so if you're looking at Lake Union, you didn't turn in time)
From Lake Union:
go up Belmont Ave
hang a left on Belmont Place just before the road starts to curve to the left.
Please invite everyone you know to this event - your support means a lot to us!

Broadway Powerhouse Jennifer Holliday Performs with
Seattle Men’s Chorus; Opening 2008 Holiday Concert Series
December 7 & 8 at Benaroya Hall; 8:00 PM
Flying House Productions is thrilled to announce that Jennifer Holliday, a self-proclaimed “Broadway Baby,” will perform with Seattle Men’s Chorus for two very special holiday concerts on December 7th and 8th at Benaroya Hall. Enjoy Holliday for the Holidays–to witness her vocal power live in concert is truly an unforgettable experience.
Jennifer Holliday’s show-stopping, heart-wrenching performance of the torch ballad “And I’m Telling You, I’m Not Going” in the smash hit Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, made her a household name and introduced her big soulful voice to the world. It also garnered her both a Tony and Grammy Award. She has been crowned a “singer’s singer;” a truly electrifying performer who delivers her songs with deep passion and sincere emotion. Her soulful and throaty style touches hearts and leaves audiences moved with inspiration and spirits soaring. With her commanding voice, Miss Holliday has travelled from Broadway Theatres (Your Arms Are Too Short To Box With God, Dreamgirls) to Hollywood Recording Studios to sing with fellow legends (Barbra Streisand, Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson). She has toured the nation (Sing Mahalia Sing, Harlem Suite, Black Nativity) sung with symphonies (Boston Pops Symphony, The National Symphony), and worked on several film and TV productions including several seasons on Ally McBeal as Lisa Knowles, the outspoken, quirky choir director at McBeal’s church
For the 2008 holiday season, the legendary Miss Holliday will join Seattle Men’s Chorus in their festive Holiday Concert, titled Fruitcake. The run includes seven Seattle performances from December 7-22 an additional concert in Everett on December 6th and in Tacoma on December 13th. Jennifer Holliday will perform select numbers with the Chorus during the first two Seattle concerts on December 7 and 8 only at 8:00 PM. Tickets are on sale now for subscribers. Individual tickets go on sale November 3, 2008.
