SUMMARY:Tacoma Arts Live Regional Theater presents: The Last Days of Judas Iscariot\, By Stephen Adly Guirgis
DESCRIPTION:“An immersive theater experience mixing both comedy and drama amidst a time-bending world between heaven and hell. The Last Days of Judas Iscariot reexamines the fate of the New Testament’s greatest villain\, a traitor\, who betrayed his Lord for 30 pieces of silver. Set in a Purgatory courtroom\, Judas is brought to judgement to determine if he is guilty of greatest betrayal of all time. Whether Judas enters through the gates of heaven or burns in hell rests upon the testimony of saints and sinners including Pontius Pilate\, Mother Teresa\, Sigmund Freud\, Satan and others. Through outrageous comedy and deep pathos\, this play challenges audiences to reflect upon their own beliefs\, their own sin and to reconsider what they know about forgiveness\, faith\, and the human inside one of the history’s most infamous figures.” \n  \nPreview Night: Thursday\, October 13\, 2022 at 7:30 p.m.\nFriday\, October 14\, 2022 at 7:30 p.m.\nSaturday\, October 15\, 2022 at 7:30 p.m.\nSunday\, October 16\, 2022 at 3:00 p.m.\nFriday\, October 21\, 2022 at 7:30 p.m.\nSaturday\, October 22\, 2022 at 7:30 p.m.\nSunday\, October 23\, 2022 at 3:00 p.m.*

She has survived decades of wars and oppression by making shrouds for the dead. A compelling black comedy\, The Shroud Maker delves deep into the intimate life of ordinary Palestinians to weave a highly distinctive path through Palestine’s turbulent past and present. Loosely based on a real-life character still living in Gaza\, this one-woman comedy weaves comic fantasy and satire with true stories told first hand to the writer and offers a vivid portrait of Palestinian life in Gaza underscored with gallows humor.\n \nReviews:\n“The mixture of comical yet painful words bring a unique balance of heartache and laughter to the dark satire of Masoud’s script\, and the audience is left with tears in their eyes even as they try to laugh at Souad’s attitude”\n-Middle East Monitor    \n \n“While the context of the performance adds an extra layer of tragedy\, Masoud’s gallows humour is more than welcome” \n-Ceasefire Magazine   \n \n“Pangs of pain and heartache accompany the dark satire of Masoud’s script\, and the audience are left with tears in their eyes even as they try to laugh grimly to Hajja’s no-nonsense attitude. The final scene is met with a standing ovation\, claps filling the studio which moments before trembled with anguish and heartbreak.” \n-The New Arab\n \nTickets and information here!

SUMMARY:People of The Book - by Yussef El Guindi
DESCRIPTION:Yussef El-Guindi is one of the most talented playwrights in the country today\, and he happens to live in Seattle. He earned a Stranger Genius Award in 2015\, shortly after the premiere of his play Threesome\, about an Egyptian American couple who set out to spice up their sex life by inviting an absolute doofus of a white guy into their bedroom.  El Guindi’s new play\, People of the Book\, involves more sexual jealousy across cultural traditions\, as well as a soldier-turned-writer whose massive success with a memoir inspires jealousy from some old high school friends. – Stranger \nPeople of the Book is a very personal play that speaks to much larger national themes.  It’s a gripping drama that is inspired by Euripedes’ Medea and crackles with the kind of contemporary wit that we have come to love about Yussef’s writing.  – Director\, John Langs \nPlease check the Act Theatre’s website for details regarding showtimes and ticket prices. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Radiolab's Jad Abumrad: The Miracle of Indoor Plumbing
DESCRIPTION:Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad: The Miracle of Indoor Plumbing \n\nSTG Presents Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad at The Moore Theatre on April 20\, 2019. \nJAD ABUMRAD is the host and creator of Radiolab (radiolab.org)\, a public radio program broadcast on 524 stations across the nation and downloaded more than 9 million times a month as a podcast. Most days\, Radiolab is the 2nd most popular podcast\, just behind This American Life. \nJad Abumrad did most of his growing up in Tennessee\, before studying creative writing and music composition at Oberlin College in Ohio. Following graduation\, Abumrad wrote music for films\, and reported and produced documentaries for a variety of local and national public radio programs. \nIn 2002\, Abumrad began tinkering with an idea for a new kind of radio program\, an openended radio “laboratory.” Radiolab has since evolved into one of public radio’s most popular programs. Abumrad hosts the program with Robert Krulwich and also serves as its lead producer\, composer and managing editor. Abumrad employs his dual backgrounds as composer and journalist to create what’s been called “a new aesthetic” in broadcast journalism. He orchestrates dialogue\, music\, interviews and sound effects into compelling documentaries that draw listeners into investigations of otherwise intimidating topics\, such as the nature of numbers\, the evolution of altruism\, or the legal foundation for the war on terror. \nIn 2010\, Radiolab was awarded the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award and in 2011 Abumrad was honored as a MacArthur Fellow (also known as the Genius Grant). The MacArthur Foundation website says: “Abumrad is inspiring boundless curiosity within a new generation of listeners and experimenting with sound to find ever more effective and entertaining ways to explain ideas and tell a story.” In 2015 the Radiolab episode “60 Words” was awarded a George Foster Peabody Award. \nThe Radiolab spinoff\, More Perfect\, a series about untold stories of the Supreme Court\, is currently in its 2nd season. The New York Times called More Perfect “…possibly the most mesmerizing podcast.” \nAlongside his radio work\, Abumrad continues to work as a composer and remixer. His music is currently being performed across the country. \n\n
