Vashon Theatre
dir. Brett Sullivan
Starring Reeve Carney, André De Shields, Amber Gray
142 minutes
A live stage recording of the broadway musical hit and winner of eight Tony Awards! A musical juxtaposition of the Orpheus/Eurydice and Hades/Persephone myths that examines the way real life can impact our quest for a perfect world.
“Move over ‘Odyssey,’ here’s another Greek tragedy of love and war, done as a fabulous musical.” - Peter Travers, The Travers Take
“A splendid opportunity for anyone who hasn’t seen ‘Hadestown’ onstage to experience it. The audience we see at this production at the West End’s Lyric Theatre is so in love with the show that you feel every person there has already seen it three times.” - Owen Gleiberman, Variety
“‘Hadestown’ is one of those rich texts that rewards repeat viewings, revealing new details and further developing themes with each revisit.,” - Lily Janiak, San Francisco Chronicle
Presented in partnership with the Vashon Drama Dock!

Vashon Theatre
dir. David Wain
Starring Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Michael Showalter
97 minutes
The 25th anniversary re-release of this classic comedy! Set on the last day of camp, in the hot summer of 1981, a group of counselors try to complete their unfinished business before the day ends.
“This shamefully underpromoted, gloriously silly romp made me laugh harder than any other movie this summer...this blissfully unimportant movie starts in a deceptively low key, gradually unveiling its total lunacy.” - David Ansen, Newsweek
“A loving and meticulous re-creation of the last moment before American youth culture went permanently ironic.” - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
“Structured only by its time frame (the last day of camp) and total commitment to casualness, the movie feels tossed off in the most appealing way,” - Nathan Lee, Village Voice
