SPT presents the Seattle Premiere of Julia Cho's
THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE
at the Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake
May 17 June 9, 2013
SEATTLE, WA SPT is proud to present the Seattle Premiere of 2009 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize Winner Julia Chos The Language Archive running May 17-June 9, 2013 at the historic Bathhouse Theater on Green Lake.
ABOUT THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE
"To communicate is our passion and our despair." -William Golding, Free Fall.
George is a linguist devoted to saving dying languages yet he can't find the words to keep his own marriage from falling apart. His lonely assistant, Emma, is so desperately in love with George that she tries to learn Esperanto to tell him so. Meanwhile, the last two speakers of an indigenous tongue refuse to speak to each other. Will their language perish forever out of spite? Language and love are the twin themes of this poetically inventive excursion into the difficulty of finding words for what lies in our hearts.
"Uniquely blends absurdest farce with sentimental comedy." LA Times.
"Quirky, but ravishingly well-written piece that is smart, funny, deep and tender." OC Weekly.
"When I first read the description of The Language Archive, I fell in love with the idea of a linguist who has all the languages in the world, but can't communicate with the one who matters most," says director Shana Bestock. "Julia Cho's writing is lyrical, poetic and punchy. It's the perfect blend of grief and joy, despair and passion. It's the kind of love story I live for--a story about idiosyncratic and quirky people trying unsentimentally to express deep, confusing, fluctuating emotions, and the ways in which words--for all their marvelous mellifluous possibilities--can fail us in our moments of deepest need for connection."
The Language Archive features the acting talents of Candace Vance, Heather Persinger, John Murray, Julie Jamieson, and Mike Dooly.
The Language Archive is directed by Shana Bestock, stage managed by Blair Feehan and features the design talents of Craig Wollam (Scenic Design), Tim Wratten (Lighting Design), Evan Mosher (Sound Design), Pete Rush (Costume Design), and Cole Hornaday (Props).
Your Turn to Speak! Is love a language? Can there be language without love or love without language? Come explore these notions and more during our special post-show discussion on Saturday, June 1st following our 7:30pm evening performance. The Language Archive cast and crew will be joined by guest panelists including Leland Ross, Delegate of the World Esperanto Association for Seattle, Zaki Abdelhamid, Program Director of Humanities Washington and producer of Speakers Bureau and Think and Drink conversation programs, and dialect and vocal coach Gin Hammond.
The Language Archive previews Thursday, May 16th, performances run May 17-June 9, 2013. Tickets may be purchased by

LeAnn Rimes
Woodland Park Zoo
Doing the unexpected has almost become expected of LeAnn Rimes. From her hit Blue nearly 15 years ago to her impressive concept album of classic country standards, Lady & Gentlemen, LeAnn has always bravely followed her own inner compass and consistently maintained her musical integrity rather than simply following the musical trends of the day. Listening to her instincts has resulted in album sales of more than 40 million, two Grammy Awards, three Academy of Country Music Awards and 12 Billboard Music Awards.

Grammy nominee Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews has dubbed his signature sound "Supafunkrock"stirring together New Orleans jazz, funk and soul, laced with hard-rock power chords and hip-hop beats. JJ Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern musical storytellers and, like the best of the great Southern writers, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid and personal, political and universal.

Todd Snider's Traveling Folk Show featuring Shawn Mullins, Hayes Carll, Sarah Jarosz
Woodland Park Zoo
Todd Snider is on the happy back end of happy hour at a favorite East Nashville bar, talking about his new album Agnostic Hymns & Stoner Fables. Since we last heard from Shawn Mullins on 2008s honeydew, the Atlanta-based singer/songwriter and bandleader has undergone a series of transformative experiences, leading to a second coming for the veteran artist. Hayes Carll is an odd mix. Wildly literate, utterly slackerly, impossibly romantic, absolutely a slave to the music, the 35-year old Texan is completely committed to the truth and unafraid to skewer pomposity, hypocrisy and small-minded thinking. Just a few months away from graduating from New England Conservatory with a Bachelor of Music degree in Contemporary Improvisation, Sarah has attracted fans of folk, rock, country and old time music with her voice and multi-instrumental abilities, not only through her records, but also an aggressive touring schedule, sandwiched between academics.

Brandi Carlile
Woodland Park Zoo
On the eve of her 5th major label album release Bear Creek, and after almost a decade of extensive touring, Carlile and her bandmates are back with a bang. But its not record sales, industry accolades or commercial success that make Brandi Carlile a uniquely compelling artist; in fact some would say she has purposely gone out of her way to avoid it. Its tales from the road, where she and her bandmates have spent the best part of their careers building Carliles fan base and audience, whilst remaining under the industry radar, that tells you the story of who she really is.
