BERTRAM:
Never mind, never mind, Roberta.  (patting her on the head) My lot in life as the provider of larder for the table may be a loathsome one.  Nevertheless, I assure you that I am up to the task.  My frame may be lean, but it is constructed of weathered oak.

BOBBIE:

Weathered, did you say?

The world premiere of Jeff Stilwell's delightful Copy Center Taoist - about the search for inner peace amid towering reams of paper  - opens Thursday, May 5th, 8 pm at New Space Theatre (now known as Do North), a charming Off-Broadway-ish, 40 seat theatre in Shoreline.  (Located kitty corner from the Safeway at NE 175th and 15th NE, look for the fifteen foot high logo on the wall of the theatre.)  Here are Google directions.

Convenient and free parking is available next to the theatre.  

Tickets available at:



409 Main Street, Edmonds, WA

Copy Center Taoist opens Thursday, May 5th.  Performances continue throughout the following month, Thursdays through Saturdays, May 5 - 21.  All nine performances begin at 8 pm. 

For a post-show libation, we heartily recommend North City Bistro with its scrumptious, yet affordable wine, beer and appetizers.  It's just a half block north of the theatre. 

Copy Center Taoist concludes the second season of New Classics Theatre to New Space Theatre, which has seen the critically and financially successful world premieres of A Dropped Stitch and One Tile Short and the revival of Granny Knot. 

Stilwell's career as playwright has earned such varied credits as Dale Burrows' salutes to Teacup Tipsy: "a trip and a half in a little more than a hour and a half through an Alice-like wonderland and a half; ground-breaking in ways more than one..."  and One Tile Short: "an intense dramatic comedy you don't want to miss.  It is an uninterrupted 90- minute power pack with something to say and a super-charged cast of four saying it...".  The Everett Herald found of Stilwell's Penny Upstart and the Widget War: "Clever dialogue and quips showcase Stilwell's talent for comedic writing..." and Enterprise Newspapers judged Traffic Stop: "...funny, serious, bitter, and sweet..."  Traffic Stop also took two awards at the Kaleidoscope 2007 competition.
