charlabobParticipantArts West is an amazing resource for West Seattle. I’m not a theater critic or an arts expert, so I can just say everything we’ve seen there is daring and professional and smart. And, it’s a very comfortable venue–walking distance to the growing array of west seattle restaurants!
Now, get out of your garden or off your couch and go to see I am My Own Wife, http://www.artswest.org/?q=node/12, playing through June 1. Actually, the first time you can see it is tomorrow night — 7:30, so you can finish weeding and vegging and still get there.
Excellent seats are still available (I recommend front row, because I like seeing actors sweat, but there really isn’t a bad seat in the house.)
We saw the lead (and only) actor, Nick DeSantis, in How I Got The Story last year (about a reporter in Vietnam) — it was exceptional and this is better.
“I Am My Own Wife” is the “true” (is it?) story of a transvestite who survived the Nazis and the Communists in Germany. That doesn’t begin to tell the story and to tell more gives it away. Seriously, this is powerful theater — we’d be lucky to see it anywhere and we just have to hop on a bus or a bike or even, for some of us, the necessary car.
Go. Now (5 more performances.) Be amazed that it isn’t sold out :-) And, most important, buy tickets for next season.

SueParticipantI just saw this yesterday and really enjoyed it – Nick DeSantis is just amazing in this play (and anything else I’ve seen him in). A friend had seen this play on Broadway and recommended it and I’m glad I listened.
