Theater Schmeater announces its 2009 season

Theater news: Seattle's Theater Schmeater announces a 2009 season with "Act a Lady," a gender-bending comedy by Jordan Harrison, and an Edward Albee double bill called "At Home at the Zoo," and more.

Seattle Times theater critic

Capitol Hill's small but adventuresome Theater Schmeater plans a 2009 season that focuses on modern works in their Seattle and West Coast premieres.

"Act a Lady," a gender-bending comedy by local native Jordan Harrison, opens the season in January 2009.

It is followed by:

• "When the Messenger is Hot": A Laura Eason play based on short stories by Elizabeth Crane (March-April).

• "An Oak Tree": An Obie-winning play by experimental British playwright Tim Crouch (late nights in March-April).

• "Maria/Stuart": Jason Grote's dark comedy about an embattled cartoonist (May-June).

Rounding out the season are works by two major American playwrights: "The Creation of the World and Other Business," a tongue-in-cheek account of the Book of Genesis by Arthur Miller (September-October); and "At Home at the Zoo," a double bill of Edward Albee's classic one-act "The Zoo Story," and his new "prequel" to that play, "Home Life" (Novomber-December).

More details available from the theater: 206-324-5801 or www.schmeater.org.
