A new theatre company in Ballard, Empty Stage Theatre Company, is preparing for their holiday musical offering Plaid Tidings.
Empty Stage Theatre Company was created by Ballard High School theatre arts instructor Shawn M. Riley, choreographer and Multi-Arts teacher Eia Waltzer, and Seattle performer Gustavo Gutierrez. The three wanted to give the Ballard community a theatre company to call their own. With big plans for the summer of 2020, including day camps for children ages kindergarten through eighth grade, and the addition of second show, Empty Stage plans on being a fixture in the Ballard community for the foreseeable future.
In Plaid Tidings, “Francis, Jinx, Smudge and Sparky aren’t sure why they’ve returned to Earth for another posthumous performance, but a phone call from the heavenly Rosemary Clooney lets them know that they’re needed to put a little harmony into a discordant world. This truly ‘heaven-sent’ holiday treat will lift audiences’ spirits and fill them with nostalgia for a bygone era of classic music sung in perfect harmony. “
