Seattle Children's Theater presents Goodnight, Moon
From the SCT website:
“Enchanting…Feat of inspired genius.” – Seattle Post-IntelligencerEve Alvord Theatre
Little Bunny’s imagination is a wondrous place when he must say his goodnights. A place where toys come to life and pictures are filled with real, talking, breathing people. After all the pandemonium of getting ready for bed, Little Bunny finally closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.

ArtsWest presents Gutenberg! The Musical!
From the ArtsWest Playhouse website:
“Uproarious and hysterically funny!” - Associated Press
GUTENBERG! THE MUSICAL! is a loving spoof in which two aspiring playwrights perform a backers’ audition for their new project: A big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg (not Steve Guttenberg from the cinema classic Short Circuit)."I don't recall the last time I left a theater with a face that ached from laughing way too much." - Paul Constant, The Stranger
With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract – fulfilling their sky-high, if simple-minded, dreams.

Northwest Puppet Center presents Don Quixote
Baroque Marionette Opera
From the NWPC website:
Each year, Northwest Puppet Center presents an elaborate baroque marionette opera. Hand-carved figures take the stage with chamber orchestra and singers on either side of the proscenium.Northwest Puppet Center
The Carter Family Marionettes are joined by an ensemble of outstanding musicians and singers for this unique production of Don Quixote.
George Philipp Telemann's Don Quixote Suite is a well known instrumental delight. Rarely seen, however, is his one act operetta, in which the chivalrous Don and the earthy Sancho Panza attend and disrupt a shepherd's wedding. These two works are combined by Carter Family Marionettes and Maestra di Musica, Margriet Tindemanns. Sancho Panza's aria to his donkey and the attack on the windmills are among the treats to be dished up by hand-carved marionettes and our beloved musical collaborators. This is our 10th live opera, with nearly a decade of these unique and challenging presentations at the Northwest Puppet Center. Please join us for a night at the opera with this quixotic delectation!
Friday, April 17th - 8:00 pm
Saturday, April 18th - 2:00 pm, 8:00 pm
