ArtsWest wraps up season with music; Jazz plus rock and roll close out year

By Lindsay Peyton

ArtsWest switched up its plans for the “I Am Season” and changed up its selection for the final show.

Originally, the theatre in West Seattle was set to bring “Kiss of the Spider Woman” to stage for its closing production.

Instead ArtsWest decided to go out with a bang—and with some jazz and rock and roll.

John Cameron Mitchell’s “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and Lanie Robertson’s “Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill” are presented together in rotating repertory under the title “Practical Questions of Wholeness.”

Both pieces examine how identity can be shaped by music and a career in the arts. The two plays are essentially one-person shows, focusing the attention on one actor and with the bands providing back-up characters.
