Breeders Theater opens season in Burien
Mon, 01/03/2011
Breeders Theater opens its 10th season with a new show, "Casting Call," Jan. 14-Feb. 5 at E.B. Foote Winery in Burien.
"Casting Call" takes place at a major theater festival, where they are about to launch a production of a major new play that already has been optioned to Hollywood. With the film director scheduled to attend -- in search of someone to play the lead in the film -- three actors are vying for this potential role of a lifetime and might be willing to do anything to get it.
Breeders Theater founder T.M. Sell wrote the play. Doug Knoop directs, with music by Nancy Warren and choreography by Teresa Widner.
"Having worked with good actors for a while now, it occurred to me that if an actor put her or his mind to it, you really wouldn't know what they were thinking," said Sell. "So this is a play where things may not be what they seem."
The cast includes Andrew Smith, Teresa Widner, Laura Smith, Ericka Zabelle, Eric Hartley and Stephen Scheide.
"Casting Call" runs Jan. 14, 15, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29, Feb. 2, 3, 4, 5 at 7 p.m., with doors open at 6:30 p.m.; with matinees Jan. 16, 23, 30 at 2 p.m., with doors open at 1:30 p.m.
All proceeds from the Jan. 21 show benefit performing arts scholarships at Highline College. Tickets for the benefit are available at www.funds4highline.org, as well as the usual outlets.
