Changing Scene Theatre Northwest, which added an intriguing black-box element to the Kitsap theater scene from 2002-13, might be back in Bremerton and environs at some point.
For now, though, artistic director Pavlina Morris seems to be strengthening the company’s foothold in Tacoma. For the second straight year, Changing Scene will perform its “Summerplay” one-act festival at Tacoma Musical Playhouse. They were are Tacoma Little Theatre in 2014 after having staged “Summerplay” at several different Bremerton venues.
In addition, TMP has scheduled a “mini-season” of three CSTN productions for its second space, known as The Spire. TMP’s offerings will be the two-person holiday comedy “A Tuna Christmas” (Dec. 2-17); “Love: You’ve Got to Be Kidding,” a collection of short plays by Seattle playwright (and frequent “Summerplay” contributor) John C. Davenport (Feb. 10-25); and “The Taming of the Shrew,” Shakespeare’s comedy staged in the commedia dell’arte style (May 5-21).
Tacoma Musical Playhouse is at 7116 Sixth Ave., just across the Narrows Bridge, and The Spire is at 710 S. Anderson.
