Curtain won't fall on Breeders Theater just yet
Wed, 04/20/2011
Breeders Theater will return this July with a new show, Helpdesk.
The pending sale of E.B. Foote Winery in Burien, home to Breeders Theater and a lot of award-winning wine, seemed ready to end BT's 10-year run at the winery. However as the sale fell through, the winery now will be open through August as winemaker Sherrill Miller sells off the last of her stock.
And so BT is back with a new show, Helpdesk, by company founder T.M. Sell
Helpdesk is about five women who work at the customer service desk of an office computer equipment company. Across the street, a young man has been watching them, and may be about to confront the women. Who is he, and what does he want?
"It's a play about how people relate to each other, both as co-workers and as strangers," said Sell.
Scott Green directs the show, which features the acting talents of Teresa Widner, Laura Smith, Melissa Malloy, Marianne Everett, Terri Fincham Conner, and Brenan Grant.
Show dates are July 15, 16, 22, 23, 29 and 30 at 7 p.m. and July 24 at 2 p.m. Tickets are still only $20, including wine tasting. Doors open at 6:30 for evening performances and 1:30 p.m. on July 24.
All performances are at E.B. Foote Winery, 127B SW 153rd St., Burien. Tickets are available at the winery, 206-242-3852, and at CorkyCellars, 22511 Marine View Dr., Des Moines, 206-824-9462.
