Burien Little Theatre is presenting Sarah Ruhl's offbeat romantic comedy "The Clean House" from Feb. 11 through March 6.

The comedy will be preformed at the Burien Community Center Annex, 425 S.W. 144th Street.

In Ruhl's play, Lane, a doctor who is too busy to clean her own house, hires Matilde, a feisty maid from Brazil who just happens to hate to clean and spends her time trying to make up the perfect joke. To cover for the maid, the doctor's neat-freak sister, Virginia, secretly takes over the housecleaning--and finds "foreign" underwear in the laundry. As Lane's marriage to her doctor husband, Charles, unravels, true love emerges and the perfect joke is found.

The play contains some adult language and sexuality. The show is suitable for ages 13 and older.

"The Clean House" will be performed Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15-$20 online and $17-$20 at the box office, with all tickets $7 on Seven Buck Sunday, Feb. 13.

Parents can leave their children to be entertained for the evening at Jungle Gym in Burien on Parents' Night Out Feb. 18 for $25 per child. Contact Jungle Gym at 206-248-3547.

A performance schedule including dates, times and ticket prices is available at www.burienlittletheatre.org or call the ticket office at 206-242-5180.

Under the direction of Maggie Larrick, the show features the acting talents of Stela Diaz (Ana), Brynne Garman (Virginia), Geni Hawkins (Lane), Russ Kay (Charles) and Luciana McCadden (Matilde).

On March 5 at 2 p.m., Burien Little Theatre is sponsoring Seattle Latino theater eSe Teatro's bilingual (Spanish/English) presentation of "Passport," Gustavo Ott's absurdist play, full of politics and humor.

In "Passport," Eugene wakes up from his nap during his train journey, and finds himself in a country where they speak a language he cannot understand. An initial attempt to ask for directions becomes days of torture and imprisonment and, ultimately, Eugene's desperate journey to comprehend beyond language and cultural barriers. It is directed by Arlene Martinez-Vickers and features Erwin Galan (Eugene), Gerald Alejandro Ford (Soldier) and Michael Blum (Officer), plus music by Meg Savlov. The play is suitable for ages 13 and older.

Admission is $5 and includes a post-reading panel on immigration hosted by Latinos for Community Transformation. The performance will be presented at the community center annex.
