This Friday (April 15) is Late Seating at Actors. Doors open at 10p. The show begins at 10:30p. And get your tickets in advance because these shows often sell out. (And this one likely will.) Performers include music from Adventure, performances by Le Petomane and Johnny Dobring, and an audience-generated art project. There will also be give-aways, a cash bar, and all kinds of other fun. That's the happy, Comedy face part.
I've only made it to one Late Seating-- the one on the rooftop of the garage with the Pass back in Fall 2010, and it was one of my favorite nights in Louisville. I've also tried to go to two more, but they sold out. I promised myself after the last sold-out show I missed that I would try to get to as many Late Seatings as possible...
So now the sad news (Tragedy face) from Actors' press release:
For over 5 years and 20 successful performances, the Late Seating has showcased more than 80 local artists and entertained more than 3600 patrons. April's lineup marks the Late Seating's final program of the season and with this Actors Theatre today announced that the Late Seating Co-producers: Mike Brookes, Cathy Colliver, Matt Dobson, Paul Doyle and Emily Ruddock, will retire as creative and logistical curators of the series.... Late Seating will now enter a hiatus following the April 15th performance. Actors will reconsider the series upon the arrival of its soon to be appointed Artistic Director. (emphasis mine)
Here's hoping Actors brings back Late Seating quick and in a hurry. We wish Brookes, Colliver, Dobson, Doyle, and Ruddock the best and thank them for a great series. And get those tickets early, kids. Once word gets out that this could be the last Late Seating in a while, it's sure to sell out.
