Come See MONOLODGE
MONOLODGE
MONOLODGE, created by the Unicycle Collective (Seattle’s
first and only theater company dedicated to solo performance),
is a live anthology, the theatrical equivalent of a short-story
collection: Brief but chewy theatrical concepts stripped to the
bare essentials of a performer and an audience. Previous
incarnations of MonoLodge have been seen at Theatre Off Jackson
and as part of the Solo Performance Festival.
MonoLodge 6 will feature 9 brand new works, each inspired by
Annex’s prime time production ‘LOVE’S TANGLED
WEB’. Though linked by a common theme, each piece is
guaranteed to be as unique as the performers themselves.
MonoLodge 6 features:
* CHRIS BELL performing ODE TO AN OVERNIGHT CUSTODIAN RESIDING
IN ROCHESTER, MN
* CHRISTA BELL (April 24-25 & May 2 only)
* KELLEEN CONWAY BLANCHARD performing RIDING THE BULL
* KEITH HITCHCOCK
* MARISSA RAE NIEDERHAUSER performing SUPPRESS
* MARY PURDY performing BRANCHING OUT
* SETH ROSENBLOOM performing FLIRT ON
* MARK SIANO performing THE COUNT (May 3 & May 8-9 only)
* KATE SMITH performing FUNERAL SAD
DATES: April 24, 25, May 2, 8, and 9 at 11pm. May 3 at 8pm
WHERE: Annex Theatre–1100 E. Pike St (which is actually on 11th
at the corner of 11th & E. Pike)
HOW MUCH: $9 general, $5 students/seniors/military/TPS

Creepy Puppets
Everyone loves terrifying puppets with yarn hair. And I got to write a little play for them. Alice Nelson produced A Night at the Grand Guignol in Calgary in Februrary and my play “A Matching Pair” was smack at the top. Grand Guignol means Big puppet and at the Theatre du Grand Guignol in Paris ( 1897-1962) it was known as the “Theater of Laughter and Terror”. Apparently, it all went really well. Because, people like awful, fuzzy puppets, plus blood.
14/48 The World’s Quickest Theater Festival
In January I was allowed to be part of pretty much the most scary, most fun, best creative kick in the ass- 14/48
What is it?
14 plays conceived, written, rehearsed, scored, directed and performed in 48 hours.
The result? An awesome experience that featured a lot of late night hyperventilation and then happiness and also talented people-and two new plays that I wrote- Crocodiles and Deep and True. Check out the photos taken by David Baum.

Small Town at Annex Theatre
Small Town
by Kelleen Conway Blanchard
- Opens Tuesday, January 23rd
America. Somewhere in the middle. The Ledbetters are a typical family – if “typical” includes a mother with a beehive hairdo taller than a grain silo, who chain-smokes through her tracheotomy-hole; a one-eyed sister, former “pork queen of two counties”, who wrestles alligators for fun: and a son who – well, let’s just say he’s super nice, if a bit slow. But, when 17 mailmen go missing, and the Sheriff comes a-courting, anything is bound to happen. Love can be kind of funny that way. “Small Town ” will be presented at the Gail Stellner Studio at the Capitol Hill Arts Center (1621 12th Ave, Capitol Hill, Seattle)

Season Two of this super funny locally produced spoof on Angel is out and I wrote an episode. So there. I don’t think the second season is all on the site yet but the first season is.
This here is a photo from my episode. I like my actors all greased up. Yes I do.
So check it out.

Edith’s Head at Iron Composers
I was born with an extra head…
That’s right suckahs! This is my one-woman show about Edith and her head. It was produced by Annex Theatre, and performed in part at The Crocodile, 12 Minutes Max and as part of Room for Cream.
