Review: Forever Plaid
by David Galvin for Scripta Manent July 16, 2012
"'Forever Plaid' is a distinctive and magical production, a mingling of music and drama with a healthy dose of a wistful flashback concert performance. It is a step back in time, an enjoyable revisiting for an evening the nostalgic and simple pleasure of the vocal harmony of the four part boy groups of the 50’s like the Four Aces, Four Coins, Four Freshmen, Four Lads, Four Preps, Hi-Lo’s and Kirby Stone Four."

Review: Amadeus
by Katherine Luck for Crosscut, April 10, 2012
"For an artist, perhaps the worst fate isn’t the antipathy of critics or the hostility of the public. It’s the awareness that one’s work is neither great nor terrible, merely mediocre. For the once notable and now forgotten 18th-century composer Antonio Salieri, this agonizing sense of his own mediocrity forms the pivot around which the tragedy of Amadeus­ spirals."

A Parent’s Review: A Year with Frog and Toad
by Wenda Reed for Seattle's Child, May 10, 2011
"My favorite part of Second Story Repertory’s gentle musical, A Year with Frog and Toad, was the snail. In round glasses, with antenna on his head and a fabric shell on his back, Snail propels a red scooter sloooowly across the stage, singing about how he’s rushing to deliver a letter from Frog to Toad. His mission is a running gag throughout the 50-minute performance ...

The pressure to succeed teams up with a bundle of adolescent angst and meets
 within the confines of an antiseptic middle school gym. But don’t worry — this is a comedy....

A Parent’s Review: The Boy Who Cried Wolf at SecondStory Repertory
by Wenda Reed for Seattle's Child, Match 9, 2011
“Wolf! Wolf!” the children cry, as the character in black leather, furry hands and feet and pointed teeth, sneaks in among the droll cardboard sheep with their movable heads. The boy who’s been reluctantly guarding them hasn’t noticed, never expecting to see a real wolf....

New Executive Director Brings Fresh Vision to SecondStory Repertory
by Dusty Somers for Redmond Patch, February 15th, 2011
If tension doesn’t sound like a desirable workplace quality, the theater might not be your calling. For Mark Chenovick, executive director at SecondStory Repertory, it’s essential...

New executive director for SSR bringing theater back to life
by Samantha Pak for the Redmond Reporter, January 27, 2011
Mark Chenovick's first time on a theatre stage was at age 9 — and he's been hooked ever since. He was in a musical about Thomas Jefferson and had to sing seven songs and memorize 50 pages of text. And while that much work could have turned many children off, Chenovick was bitten by the theater bug. The Helena, Mont. native spent his life working on and off stage in various capacities and is now executive director of the SecondStory Repertory (SSR) in Redmond Town Center...

A Parent’s Review: Sleeping Beauty at SecondStory Repertory
by Laura Spruce Wight for Seattle's Child, January 12, 2011
SecondStory Repertory’s Sleeping Beauty is a magical reminder that this fairy tale existed long before Disney’s version graced the screen in 1959. If you have a fan of the silvery-voiced Aurora living in your house, the basic plots are the same: beloved baby princess is cursed by evil witch, pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and falls asleep until the enchantment is broken by her true love’s kiss. The similarities end there...

 



   

SecondStory Repertory’s mission is to entertain, educate, and enlighten the diverse communities of artists and audiences on Seattle’s Eastside.
