Seattle Times theater critic

Seattle Repertory Theatre has announced its 2008-09 season, though the titles are awaiting Rep board approval and finalized licensing agreements.

Some, but not all, of the shows to be presented under outgoing artistic director David Esbjornson, in his final Rep season, were announced as potential entries in March.

So pending approval, here are the lineups for the Rep's two stages, the larger Bagley Wright Theatre and the more compact Leo K Theatre:

Bagley Wright Theatre

"Three Musketeers": Ken Ludwig's Broadway-plated new adaptation of the swashbuckling Alexandre Dumas novel.

"You Can't Take It With You": The vintage George S. Kaufman-Moss Hart comedy about an eccentric family during the Great Depression.

"Waiting for Godot": A new production of Samuel Beckett's absurdist masterwork.

"The Seafarer": Irish dramatist Conor McPherson's acclaimed Broadway drama, which centers on a cluster of old drinking buddies who have a strange Christmas Eve interlude in a Dublin pub.

"A Winter People": A 2004 adaptation of Anton Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard," by noted playwright Chay Yew (former artistic director of Seattle's Northwest Asian American Theatre).

Leo K Theatre

"The Night Watcher": A new biographical one-woman show by Rep regular Charlayne Woodard.

"Boom": A well-received Off Broadway comedy by rising San Francisco playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, about the dating travails of the last two people on Earth who are able to procreate.

"Betrayal": A well-known Harold Pinter play examining the sexual tensions between two men and a woman.

"Rollick": A new piece by James Palmer, Ron Carnell and Seattle stage alum Christopher Evan Welch.

Dates of the shows have not been announced. For more details: 206-443-2222 or www.seattlerep.org.
