Suessical Jr. The Musical, a Seattle Children's Theatre Summer Season Production Opens Tonight!

Where are you going to be tonight? 

Tonight, tomorrow and Saturday nights, we are going to be in Whoville and in other parts of the wonderful world of Dr. Suess.  Seattle Children's Theatre (SCT) Summer Season Production of Suessical Jr. begins tonight at 8:15 pm with shows Friday and Saturday night, also at 8:15 pm. 

The word on the street is that tickets are selling fast, so go here to purchase online if you are interested.

We have a personal connection to the Mayor of Whoville, shown above during the rehearsal process, in the red shirt.  Outside of Whoville, he is known as Eric :)

Monday in Seattle. Picture and Quote for the Week, Shakespeare at the Troll, Fremont

All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances,

And one man in his time plays many parts...

~William Shakespeare

Remember a few Mondays back, the car crushing troll that lives under the highway in Fremont,

Center of the Universe, Seattle?

It is home to one of Seattle's summer Shakespeare Festivals, "Shakespeare at the Troll", this year presenting "Shakespeare's Greatest Hits".

Here you see a little trouble (Macbeth)...

And a little murder (Titus Andronicus)....

And a little love (Taming of the Shrew)...

And lots more love (Romeo and Juliet)...

Four wonderfully talented actors, including our incandescent daughter Emma as Juliet, are sharing their talent every Saturday and Sunday.  Saturday shows at noon and 2 pm, Sunday show at noon until July 11. At the Troll, in Fremont. Come and enjoy!

Starring... Vintage Classic Pearls Necklace

One of my designs has made it onto a Seattle theatre stage! 

My vintage Perfect Classic Pearls are worn by Mandy Eldredge, playing Matilda Deering, in the UPAC Theatre Group Production of The Red Lamp.

Even more exciting is that our daughter Emma plays the role of Alice Deering in the same show!  You can see Emma, Mandy, 4 more wonderful actors... AND Perfect Classic Pearls performing today, Sat March 27 at 2 pm and 7:30 pm, and tomorrow, Sunday March 28 at 2 pm.

The theatre, the theatre...

A quick reminder that Seattle Children's Theatre's Summer Season opens tonight with "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass". Plays are at 7 pm and 8:15 pm respectively. This is your chance to watch some great theatre for a great price, and even better, theatre featuring very talented youth from the greater Seattle region and beyond. For example, our own Eric, as the King of Hearts, in "Alice in Wonderland".

See you at the theatre! The shows run today through Saturday, same times each day.

Coming next, Emma as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet. Stay tuned...

I do believe in fairies, I do, I do

Do you believe in fairies?

We do! We do!

Our big news last Friday was that Eric has been cast as Michael in Seattle Children's Theatre's holiday musical production of Peter Pan, running November 2009 through January 2010. We spent the weekend celebrating and being happy about this great good fortune for Eric.

Be sure to join us at the theatre this fall! But before then...

Both Emma and Eric are performing in Seattle Children's Theatre's Summer Season, opening in July. This is a wonderful opportunity to see affordable and great theatre featuring talented youth performers. Eric will be performing in Alice in Wonderland, and Emma will be performing in Romeo and Juliet (coming in August). Emma and Eric have been students at Seattle Children's Theatre for many, many years now and we can't say enough good things about this organization and the people that work there. SCT has a piece of our hearts...

The excitement made work on Bumbershoot Designs and Bumbershoot Supplies take a second seat this weekend, but a few things did occur. I'm expecting more shipments of the vintage 1940's - 1950's hand painted Japanese flowers this week, more occupied Japan glass flower cabochons, and look for the following on Bumbershoot Designs over the coming week...
