COUPON: Save $5 off psychological thriller The Letters at BAT; opens Friday

Burien Actors Theatre’s next production, the psychological thriller The Letters, opens this FRIDAY night, April 8, and runs through May 1. This production will feature live music performed pre-show and at intermission, specialty drinks themed to the show and free on-site parking, plus an opening night party. “THE LETTERS” In The Letters, written by John W. Lowell, a Ministry Director calls Anna, a bureaucrat, into his office for a meeting. It is 1931 in the Soviet Union and things aren’t what they seem. The interview becomes a suspenseful game of cat and mouse in which being the last to flinch may mean the difference between life and death. Based on Soviet efforts to edit composer Tchaikovsky’s letters, this taut thriller is a vivid slice of paranoid life under Stalin. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. at Burien Actors Theatre, 14501 4th Ave. S.W. in Burien. SAVE $5 WITH OUR COUPON!
