Benefit for Freehold

Join us for a spectacular evening of entertainment by a collection of the most talented performers the city has to offer and support Seattle's beloved Freehold Theatre.

This star-studded evening includes Lauren Weedman will be reading from her recent book "A Woman Trapped in a Woman's Body: Stories from a Life of Cringe". The Stranger dubbed Lauren "the funniest woman alive" and LA Weekly called her work "breathtaking". Robin Lynn Smith, George Lewis and Annette Toutonghi will be performing a special not-to-be-missed piece. Gin Hammond will be performing work from her renowned and highly acclaimed "The Syringa Tree" which Peter Marks from the Washington Post noted was "Ferociously heartfelt ... Every moment with this gifted young actress feels special" and Jayne Blanchard's review from The Washington Times said to "Put down this newspaper ... and buy some tickets." Amy Thone, recipient of the Stranger's 2007 Genius Award, and Hans Altwies, routinely described in his performances as "sensational" and "the best Shakespeare actor in the city" will captivate the attendees with their Shakespeare genius. Daemond Arrindell, Seattle Slammaster, will perform his spoken word prowess and Geof Alm will share his virtuoso talents. All masterfully hosted by Freehold and Seattle's favorite Improv wizard Matt Smith serving as Master of Ceremonies.

Bon Voyage Party for George Lewis

After the benefit, there will be a bon voyage party for George Lewis in Crow, with appetizers and a no-host bar.

George Lewis, Freehold's Associate Director and a Founding Partner, has been working in the field of movement theatre for over 30 years. He has been teaching acting and movement across the U.S. and Canada since 1978, and currently teaches at Cornish College for the Arts, and as core faculty at Freehold. Join us in saying goodbye and thank-you to our beloved instructor, associate director, and founding member as he leaves Freehold after 16 years of teaching, service, and inspiration.
