RoboPop!
SECOND SHOW ADDED ON MAY 8TH AT 9:30 PM
"Mission Accomplished."
Brendan Kiley
-The Stranger
"...RoboPop! was created by the ensemble, and it further cements Washington Ensemble Theatre's reputation in the top tier of theater artists working in the city today."
Kevin Phinney
-Seattle Weekly
"RoboPop! is an exciting, charming, brilliantly designed and performed piece of alternative theater and a must see event for anyone who loves innovative and original live theater."
Michael Strangeways
-Seattle Gay Scene
"The whole show-the brainchild of directors/veteran ensemble designers Heidi Ganser and Ben Zamora-is fresh, creative, and professional. In other words, exactly what I've come to expect from Washington Ensemble Theatre."
Laura Dannen
-Seattle Metropolitan
"Andrea Bryn Bush's pop-up set creates a multitude of spaces in a single tiny one; Heidi Ganser's costume design revives acid-washed denim, day-glo jumpsuits, and threateningly cranial robot heads; and if Amiya Brown's lighting design doesn't make you wonder if someone dose you with LSD beforehand, then your eyes aren't open. Brendan Hogan's soundtrack-album sound design is good enough you could just close your eyes and listen."
Michael van Baker
-The SunBreak
"The show's exclamatory title suggests a fun time for all, and certainly there is a lot to enjoy in "RoboPop!": precision group choreography, fight scenes with loads of tumbling, a celebratory finale with costumes doffed and cast members blowing off steam.from the opening moment when bright lights come up on a spare set, suggesting a corridor with multiple entrances/exits, the audience is invited to leave expectations behind and surrender as if in a trance."
Tom Keogh
-Seattle Times
An exuberant kaleidoscope of pop that follows one woman's heroic quest to save the human race in an epic battle of Man vs. Robot where love is her downfall and ultimate savior. Conceived and directed by veteran Ensemble designers Heidi Ganser and Ben Zamora and created by the Ensemble, this performance piece delivers imaginative and heartfelt storytelling like only Washington Ensemble Theatre can.
