Breeders Theater
goes for the money in Capital
BURIEN -- How much
greed is OK? Breeders Theater's 10th production at E.B. Foote Winery
examines the financial world in its new show, Capital.
"The people on the
right say the market system is all good, and the people on the left say it's
all bad," says playwright T.M. Sell, who is an economics columnist for the
Seattle Times and has written about business for a variety of publications for
20 years.
"It
seems unlikely that anything would be all or nothing, but people do make those
assumptions when it comes to the economy," Sell says.
Capital's story involves events that have all happened in the real world of
business -- a company, unhappy with how much money it's making, buys a
business it knows nothing about and proceeds to turn two good businesses into
one bad one.
"But the point is not
that business is all bad," Sell says. "It's just that when people get
too greedy, they get carried away."
BT began its fifth
season at the winery with a sold-out run of Rescues, Inc. in January.
Breeders Theater is South King County's most successful professional theater
company, specializing in original comedy in non-traditional venues.
The cast includes
Terry Boyd, Eric Hartley, Jim Cooper, Kirsten Olds, Carlos Calvo, Melissa
Grinley, Doug Knoop and Steven Scheide. Scott Green directs, with
choreography by Patricia M. Britton, musical arrangements by Nancy Warren, and
costumes by Melissa Sell.
