6 must-see Seattle theater shows in fall 2024—The Seattle Times

More than 100 years ago, Elmer Rice wrote a play about an accountant, Mr. Zero, who loses his job to a new piece of technology, an adding machine, then murders his boss and is executed and sent to the afterlife. In 2024, theater company The Feast is updating the script with the help of the newest technological terror (or tool, depending on your perspective) on the horizon, generative AI systems. Among the excellent cast are three actors who have given three of my favorite recent performances on local stages: Alexander Kilian (who was in “Spring Awakening” at The 5th Avenue Theatre), Emilie Maureen Hanson (“Sanctuary City” at Seattle Rep) and MJ Seiber (“The Bed Trick” at Seattle Shakespeare Company).
