Theatrum Orbis and a collective of theater and film artists from Shoreline Community College, Seattle Central College, and Seattle’s theater scene have joined forces to bring a new play, Steel, to the Erickson Theatre on Capitol Hill this November.

Written by playwright Chris Fisher, a 20+ year faculty member at Shoreline before moving to Seattle Central, and directed by Duygu Erdogan Monson, a professor of Performance Arts and Film at Shoreline, Steel tells the story of a suburban New Jersey family coming to terms with the chaos and violence of September 11, 2001. A read-through of the play was performed on Shoreline’s campus in 2016, with audience feedback incorporated into the script.

Co-produced by and featuring Tony Doupé, Steel runs Nov. 10-12, Nov. 16-18, and Nov. 25-26. Read more about the collaboration and find tickets.

Meet the Artist at the Artist’s reception for Alex Boeschenstein in the Admin Bldg (1000 bldg) Art Gallery (lobby) Thurs., Nov. 9 from 4-7pm.

Alex Boeschenstein (U.S., born 1988) is a Seattle-based interdisciplinary artist rooted in the traditions of drawing and printmaking. Since 2012 his artistic practice has evolved to
