In the latest edition of her quarterly-ish email newsletter, Marya Sea Kaminksi--actress, writer, director, Genius, and WET co-founder, just to name a few--shared some info on one of her upcoming projects. She's developing a monologue on a timely topic: Seattle's rampant condo abuse, in a work titled Condomillennium: A New Play About Fantasy and Real Estate.

Monologist Mike Daisey blasted off from Seattle about a decade ago, but like one of its stealthy mushrooms, the Pacific Northwest keeps popping back up in his life. He was at Town Hall with Reggie Watts a few weeks ago, and then opened Portland's TBA Festival with Monopoly and closed it with If You See Something, Say Something (which has not been presented in Seattle yet and that, fellow Americans, is a minor crime). Daisey has a repertoire of fourteen monologue (so far), including the recent How Theater Failed America, the epic Great Men of Genius, the caustic Monopoly, and the dotcom-ical 21 Dog Years, but on Friday, October 17, Annex Theatre will give the world premiere of his first play, The Moon Is A Dead World. He calls it a "dark fantasia about the Soviet space program." We got him on the line a while back, asked him very short questions, and then got out of the way.

The first thing you need to know before you go to the Solo Performance Festival at the Theatre Off Jackson is that while the Theatre Off Jackson is at 7th and Jackson, one block up at 8th and Jackson sit two of the ID's most-loved restaurants: Green Leaf offers Vietnamese cuisine and the Szechuan Noodle Bowl, Chinese. The second thing is that the Green Leaf is remodeling and isn't open, so get that out of your head right now.
