TPS Theatre4

(Seattle Center Armory
​4th Floor)

Six Paintings.  Six Playwrights.  Six New Plays!
Written by Max Koh, Sirius Linton, Hannah Lund, Audrey McGee, Wayne Rawley, Miriam BC Tobin
Directed by Jacq Babb, Stacey Bush, Caitlin Frances, Montse Garza, Henry Ives, Lillie Wirth
Introducing our newest festival of short plays!  It's Framing Device!  

Six playwrights will translate six paintings to the stage in an evening of short works!  If you liked what we did to Christmas Cards from merry, ole England, just wait 'til you see what we do with masterworks by a guy from Scandinavia!

Known for his striking imagery, Norwegian painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is probably most famous for his painting The Scream. Or, rather, his two paintings and two pastels of The Scream.  As a painter who often tended toward darkness, it seems only fitting that Latitude Theatre features Munch's art in the month of October.
