This from my good buddy Amelia Rose Brummel from Chimacum, who’s in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” which wraps up Nov. 1:

“Besides me, there are two kids from your area in the play.  One is Morgan Pullom, who’s 9 and lives in Poulsbo and is a 2nd soprano.  She’s the daughter of Candice Donahue, who’s a professional music theater actor and teacher at Galletta School of Dance.  The other is Paige Lawson, who’s 10, and she’s an alto who lives in Gig Harbor.  Both Morgan and Paige are easy to spot in the show because they’re both at the front of the stage a lot.  I’m an alto group leader and swing, so I play a different part in each show depending on which kid has the day off, so, sometimes I’m up front, and sometimes I’m in the middle, and sometimes I’m in the back!”

Anyway, if you have the chance, you can get tickets through 5thavenue.org or the box office, (206) 625-1900.

And thanks to Amelia for the heads-up on Morgan and Paige. BREAK A LEG, ALL OF YOU !!

The life of Corinna Lapid-Munter, who’s the musical director and conductor for many of Ovation! Musical Theatre Bainbridge’s productions (including the upcoming “Fiddler on the Roof“), just got a lot busier. And the business will involve a lot of ferry rides back and forth to Seattle.

Lapid-Munter just was cast in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s upcoming production of “Candide,” according to a note on her Facebook page. And her Ovation! cohort Marijane Milton informs that Lapid-Munter will also be in Seattle Children’s Theatre’s “Pero” this winter.

“Pero” plays Jan. 14 to Feb. 14, and “Candide” comes to the 5th Avenue for a May 25-to-June 13 run.

Double congrats to Corinna !!

We’ve been seeing unofficial announcements for days on Facebook posts, waiting for the official word from Typecast Pictures, but I think we can take this one as the Real Thing, coming as it does from the film’s director, Kevin Hamedani:

“Ladies & Gentlemen, ‘ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction’ has just inked a distribution deal with After Dark/Lion’s Gate Films!!! — Look for ‘ZMD’ in theaters January 2010, followed by DVD release late spring and appearances on the IFC Channel and … SyFy! — Congratulations to everyone involved with the film and thanks to each and every one of you for your support.”

Really glad I got to see the Bellydance Superstars at the Admiral Theatre in B-Town 10/9. Not life-altering, but close. Sorry you couldn’t be there.

Anyway, if you missed them, their Web site (www.bellydancesuperstars.com) has a listing for a show called “Bellydance Superstars Live in Paris,” which will be on at 10 p.m. Sunday 10/11 on KBCT (channel 3 on most local systems).

I don’t know what the show is like, but if it’s anything like their live show, it’ll be well worth watching.

The Admiral Theatre has announced it will have a limited number of half-price balcony seats available for the Oct. 9 performance by the Bellydance Superstars, the season-opening show in this year’s subscription season.

The Bellydance Superstars appeared at the Admiral in March 2008 and nearly sold the theater out. Their performance incorporates a number of dance styles in fusion with more traditional bellydance, accompanied by both live and recorded music.

Full-price balcony tickets for the show are $18. So, do the math — act fast, and you could go for $9.

This from our friend Rocky Friedman at the Rose Theatre in Port Townsend:

As the Rose Theatre prepares to begin its third season of High Definition Live and Encore simulcasts from the Metropolitan Opera on Oct. 10 with Puccini’s “Tosca,” it is expanding its innovative programming with High Definition plays from the National Theatre in London.

This inaugural season of NT Live began in June 2009 with “Phèdre,” starring Helen Mirren.  The Rose will be presenting two, time-delayed presentations of each remaining play in the 2009/2010 National Theatre season.

October 17 and 31 at 11 a.m.: William Shakespeare’s “All’s Well That Ends Well.” The feisty but lowly Helena falls in love with Bertram, a haughty count.  To gain his hand she is set on a string of impossible tasks.  Even if accomplished, they can hardly guarantee his love.  Set against a background of sexism, snobbery and a battle between the generations, Shakespeare’s wondrous, bittersweet play turns fairytale logic on its head.

February 13 and 27 at 11 a.m.: “Nation,” an adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s witty and challenging adventure story.  The year is 1860, and two teenagers are thrown together by a tsunami that has destroyed Mau’s village and left Daphne shipwrecked on a South Pacific island, thousands of miles from home.  Neither speaks the other’s language; somehow they must learn to survive.  Together they come of age, overseen by a foul-mouthed parrot, as they discard old doctrine to forge a new Nation.  Suitable for 10 years and older.  World Premiere

May 2 and 8 at 11 a.m.: “The Habit of Art,” a new play by Alan Bennett.  Benjamin Britten, sailing uncomfortably close to the wind with his new opera, Death in Venice, seeks advice from his former collaborator and friend, W.H. Auden.  During this imagined meeting, they are observed and interrupted by amongst others, their future biographers and a young man from the local bus station.  Bennett’s new play is as much about the theatre as it is about poetry and music.  It looks at the unsettling desires of two difficult men, and reflects on growing old, on creativity and  persisting when all passion is  spent: and ultimately, on the habit of art.

The Rose joins the Lincoln Theatre in Mount Vernon as the only two venues in Washington presenting NT Live.  Tickets to NT Live go on sale Oct. 7 at the Rose or at  HYPERLINK “http://www.rosetheatre.com” www.rosetheatre.com.  General Admission $22, Seniors $20, Students and Children $16
