Our American Theater Company's

5th Season

Past is Prologue

Past is Prologue, in an ongoing effort to define and explore the American identity through the lens of great American theater. "What we’ve done in the past, makes us who we are today," observes Burney, "but how will it effect us? Will it swamp us? Or will we make a change for the better?"

The Readings

All staged readings will play one night at Theatre Off Jackson, and a second night at another venue in the greater Seattle area in order to reach out to different communities. Past second venues have included Fremont Abbey, Seattle Public Theater at The Historic Bathhouse Theatre, and ArtsWest.

ANGELS FALL

by Lanford Wilson.

When four strangers are stranded at a Catholic parish on the edge of an Indian reservation, everyone, including the priest and a local young doctor, are forced to face their demons and make some changes. First produced in 1982, ANGELS FALL is an emotional, funny, and timely play that deserves closer attention in these times of change and turmoil. ANGELS FALL will run at Theatre Off Jackson.
