BEST BETS
Candace Vance, Ryan Childers and Aaron Lamb in “An Ideal Husband,” opening at Taproot Theatre Sept. 23.
“Mary Stuart,” opening Sept. 9 at ACT Theatre, has just about everything going for it: a highly dramatic historical standoff between Queen Elizabeth I and her sister Mary Queen of Scots. Two great local stars, Anne Allgood and Suzanne Bouchard, who can do regal. A lauded new translation of Friedrich Schiller’s play, by Peter Oswald, which was a New York-London hit. A well-regarded director, Victor Pappas. And (very likely) splendid period costumes. Oh — and day-ofshow, pay-what-you-can tickets, too.

Suzanne Bouchard, left, and Anne Allgood square off in “Mary Stuart.” “Circle Mirror Transformation,” a recent Obie Award-winning play by Annie Baker, gathers a group of strangers in a dance studio to perform acting exercises in a creative drama class. While that may sound cloying or deadly, Baker’s seriocomedy (opening at Seattle Repertory Theatre on Oct. 21 and directed by Andrea Allen) has been roundly praised for its humor, humanity and its unusual methods of exploring characters and relationships in unusual but ingratiating ways.

From ‘An Ideal Husband’ to off-the-grid BY MISHA BERSON Seattle Times theater critic
This fall, local theaters are hoping to keep up the artistic pace while wooing in sufficient patrons by readying both familiar and new works. In the popular realm of musicals, there will be excavations of such classics as “Annie Get Your Gun” (Village Theatre) and “The Pajama Game” (at Seattle Musical A T H E Theatre), but also a newly revised version of the Kathie Lee Giffordproduced “Saving Aimee” (at 5th Avenue) and the premiere of the new Bill Nabel show, “Take Me America!” (at Village Theatre). Seattle Shakespeare Company expands its range and seating capacity with a staging of the Bard’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at Intiman Playhouse. As Seattle Children’s Theatre introduces its youthful audience to a musical version of the beloved storybook “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” Taproot Theatre dusts off Oscar
Wilde’s “An Ideal Husband,” and Book-It debuts an adaptation of Olympia author Jim Lynch’s contemporary novel “Border Songs.” The financially-challenged Intiman Theatre is on hiatus for an indefinite period. But in downtown digs, ACT Theatre is set to bustle with activity — turning out mainstage productions along with plays and cabarets in its chockablock Central Heating Lab series. And for edgy, off-the-grid fare, T E R hatched by local and international artists, look to On the Boards, WET (Washington Ensemble Theatre) and a quartet of solo performances slated for the Heineken City Arts Festival. Watching your pennies carefully? Once again the annual Arts Crush fest will offer low-cost and free shows. And it’s a well-known secret: Most theaters in town are happy to offer a discount, a rush ticket or some other incentive to help you get in your stage time. Misha Berson: mberson@seattletimes.com

Fleet Foxes to Keith Urban — it’s all here Now that entertainers make most of their moola from the concert stage (not recordings), more are on the road, serving diverse audiences of all stripes. That axiom holds true this fall. Like country music? Trace Adkins, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Big & Rich and Keith Urban are all on tap. E Comedy? How about Jerry F I TL Seinfeld, Marc Maron, Kathy NIGH Griffin and Joan Rivers? Crazy for the ’80s? Better scoop up tickets quickly for Duran Duran, Tom Tom Club, Devo, the B-52s and the Human League. Most of the pop-dance divas already have stopped by this year, from Britney to Janet, but Swedish star Robyn hits the Paramount in October. Heavy metal’s making a huge comeback, with Sammy Hagar (whose recent autobiography became a surprise best-seller), Def Leppard and Judas Priest swinging their

axes on arena stages. Seattleites can continue to be proud of homeboys and -girls visiting the Emerald City after making the big time. Neo-folkies The Head and the Heart (cover of Billboard magazine) and Fleet Foxes (second album going gangbusters), as well as Death Cab for Cutie and former Seattleities Band of Horses all make appearances. There’s a great roster of talent at Seattle’s coolest new venue, too: the Neptune Theatre, the University District movie house converted for concerts — Portland band Blit-
zen Trapper, indie rockers The Antlers, electronic wizards Tune-Yards, Maron and British rapper Theophilus London. And speaking of hip-hop, though not many groups are coming through, two cover the waterfront. Superstars Kanye West and Jay-Z have teamed up as The Throne for a Dec. 16 Tacoma Dome show, and the outsider L.A. collective that calls itself Odd Future hits Showbox at the Market next month.

The B-52s, pictured, and the Human League will play Chateau Ste. Michelle Sept. 10.
The Earshot Jazz Festival (Oct. 14-Nov. 6) doesn’t often shell out big bucks for a major act, so having one of the greatest of all working jazz groups in town is a no-miss event. Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock and Jack DeJohnette have been making piano trio music of the highest caliber for more than 25 years. The trio plays standards — not out of devotion to tradition and the past but with the notion that the raw materials used in improvisation, if it’s done well, should in some sense simply vanish. The trio performs Nov. 1 at Benaroya Hall. Paul de Barros, Seattle Times arts writer

Fall dance on Seattle-area stages offers a welcome variety before the post-Thanksgiving “Nutcracker” deluge. Among the season’s highlights are a poignant last farewell: The longtime company of modern-dance legend Merce Cunningham, a Centralia native who died in 2009, makes a Seattle stop on its farewell tour before the group dissolves — giving audiences one last opportunity to view several of Cunningham’s seminal works, performed by dancers he trained. It’ll be at the
Paramount, Oct. 27-29. Neoclassical ballet choreographer Christopher Wheeldon gets a showcase at Pacific Northwest Ballet, where four of his works will open the company’s 201112 season (Sept. 23-Oct. 2, McCaw Hall). San Francisco-based choreographer Alonzo King brings his LINES Ballet to Meany Hall (Nov. 17-19), with a program that will feature his 2009 work “Scheherazade.” Chamber Dance Company brings works from the ’80s and ’90s to its annual concert Oct. 13-16 at Meany, featuring local choreographer Wade Mad-
sen as well as dances from Bebe Miller, Daniel Shapiro and Joanie Smith. And local favorite Pilobolus, absent for the past four years, brings its twisty dancers back to the UW World Dance Series Oct. 6-8. And for those looking for seasonally spooky works, two local companies are offering a Halloween program: “The Haunted Theatre” at Tacoma City Ballet (Oct. 2230) and the return of “Dracula” by the International Ballet Theatre in Bellevue (Oct. 21-30).

Should you wish to experience an evening-long sampler of the vast and glorious range of ballet, check out Pacific Northwest Ballet’s “Love Stories” rep, coming Nov. 4-13. Five romantic ballets (four of them excerpts) will be presented: the stark, passionate modernity of Jean-Christophe Maillot’s “Roméo et Juliette” balcony scene; the classic bravura of duets from “Swan Lake” and “The Sleeping Beauty”; the PNB premiere of George Balanchine’s “Divertimento” from “Le Baiser de la Fée”; and Jerome Robbins’ “Afternoon of a Faun,” a delicate contemporary take on Nijinsky’s legendary 1912 ballet, last seen at PNB in 1978. All that, plus a live orchestra playing Tchaikovsky, Debussy, Stravinsky and Prokofiev. Pity it isn’t Valentine’s Day. At McCaw Hall; www.pnb.org or 206-441-2424.

Works by two local photographers doing wonderfully peculiar things with the medium are must-sees this fall. “A Turbulent Lens: The Photographic Art of Virna Haffer,” already on display, revives the reputation of an inspired experimenter who flourished in Seattle and Tacoma in the 1920s and ’30s. Haffer (18991974) was one of the revelations of the Henry Art Gallery’s recent “Shadows of a Fleeting World” group show and richly deserves this retrospective at the Tacoma Art Museum (up through Oct. 16). Still with us and making big waves in the realm of digitalart photography is Isaac Layman, still in his 30s, whose hyper-real, eye-bending takes on the most ordinary household sights (a tool bench, dirty kitchen sink) couldn’t be more luminous. In “photographicbased works” created specifically for the Frye Art Museum’s “Isaac Layman — Paradise,” Layman will explore “the personal and shared cultural desire to fabricate escapes, destinations and monuments,” along with “the critical role discontent plays in driving the need to create imagined perfection.” Opens Nov. 19.

One of the fall’s biggest visualarts attractions actually opened in the summer: “The Digital Eye: Photographic Art in the Electronic Age” at the Henry Art Gallery. It’s on view through Sept. 25, and if you haven’t caught this dazzling display of all the things that a camera and a computer can do when they’re in cahoots, you’re in for a treat. Other notable continuing shows at local museums include Cathy McClure’s “Midway,” an assortment of eerie metallic contraptions at Bellevue Arts Museum up through Jan. 22, 2012; “A Turbulent Lens: The Photographic Art of Virna Haffer” at Tacoma Art Museum through Oct. 16 (see “Best Bets”); and “Beauty and Bounty: American Art in the Age of Exploration” at the Seattle Art Museum, featuring such can’t-go-wrong names as Albert Bierstadt, Frederick Church, Thomas Cole, Thomas Moran and Winslow Homer, closing Sept. 11. It’s worth noting that both “The Digital Eye” and “Beauty and Bounty” shows were drawn largely from local collections. The most exciting upcoming museum show has to be the Frye’s “Isaac Layman — Paradise,” opening on Nov. 19 (also see “Best Bets”). Other imminent museum offerings include “Luminous: The Art of Asia” at SAM, drawn from the museum’s Asian collections, opening Oct. 13; ret-

BEST BETS Hilary Hahn returns to Benaroya Hall Oct. 17 with pianist Valentina Lisitsa.
She stunned the classical world with her genius-level solo Bach violin recording at the age of 16. And Hilary Hahn has just kept moving upward and onward since then, as one of the most consistently fascinating recitalists on today’s stages. No hysterical emoting, no shocking concert attire: Her focus is on the music that Hahn plays so incomparably. Hahn returns to Benaroya Hall Oct. 17 with pianist Valentina Lisitsa for a recital of the “three Bs” (Bach, Bee-
thoven and Brahms), and then something completely different — selections from her continuing commissioning project. Called “27 Encores,” the two-year project will result in a recording, and a prodigious addition to the violin world’s encore repertoire. (Among the composers: Krzysztof Penderecki, Jennifer Higdon, Edgar Meyer and Einojuhani Rautavaara.) Who knows which we’ll hear in Seattle? Melinda Bargreen, Special to The Seattle Times

The big classical news, of course, is the changeover at the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, where the baton is passed to French-born maestro Ludovic Morlot as incoming music director after Gerard Schwarz’s 26 years in that post. The new season gets quite an overture when Morlot arrives to conduct the Opening Night Gala on Sept. 17 in Benaroya Hall. The French-accented program, which extends from chestnuts like Ravel’s “Bolero” and Gershwin’s “An American in Paris” to the contemporary Gulda Cello Concerto, features Joshua Roman (the popular former principal cellist of the SSO) as the soloist. After that opener, Morlot leaps right into the season with several subsequent programs: a Sept. 22-25 presentation of Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony (along with some Frank Zappa), a Sept. 29/Oct. 1 lineup including Stravinsky’s L ICA S landmark “The Rite of Spring” S A L and an Oct. 6/8 concert offering Rachmaninoff’s “Symphonic Dances” and Mahler’s “Kindertotenlieder.” And a Morlot innovation, “Sonic Evolution” on Oct. 18, features the orchestra and the band Hey Marseilles in new symphonic works inspired by popular Seattle musicians (including Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones and Nirvana). The rest of the fall season suggests innovative twists on classic formats. Over at McCaw Hall, Seattle Opera stages one of the most popular of all operas, “Carmen,” with lots of new faces in company debuts (including the young Anita Rachvelishvili, who sang the title role at La Scala’s 2009 opening night at age 25, and sang it at the Met earlier this year); the Oct. 15-29 production should
