Sufjan Stevens’ most recent release, Carrie & Lowell, has already earned the accomplished songwriter new critical acclaim, having been heralded as “The Musical Comeback of the Year” by Billboard. NPR says “even at its most mournful there’s a vibrancy to these songs that’s only enhanced by their intimacy.” STG welcomes Sufjan for two nights of music from his new album and beloved catalogue. STG WELCOMES INGRID MICHAELSON TO THE PARAMOUNT THEATRE ON JUNE 17, 2015. In the past two years, Ingrid Michaelson — who’ll drop her fifth studio album, Lights Out (Cabin 24/Mom+Pop) on April 15 — has vaulted from overachieving indie-pop sweetheart to a bona-fide pop star. Her last release, Human Again, debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard album chart (plus No.1 on iTunes). This achievement merely crowned the considerable success Ingrid had already earned with her previous compositions: beautiful, idiosyncratic songs that have been prominently featured in popular films, television and on regular rotation in commercials. Her DIY approach to making music — composing her own songs, co-releasing albums on her Cabin 24 imprint, building an organic following through music-licensing, and back in her MySpace days (where she was discovered in 2006), promoting herself — was a slam-dunk. Now, it had evolved into a well-oiled machine, The New York Times even weighed in, declaring her songwriting “smart,” her tunes “irresistible” and her live show “seamless.” Sufjan Stevens Ingrid Michaelson encoreartsseattle.com 27 LAUGH YOUR WAY THROUGH MAY AT STG! 01 08 Nick Offerman & Megan Mullally: Summer of 69 The Moore Theatre Marc Maron: The Maronation Tour Special Guest: Ashley Barnhill The Neptune Theatre 16 27 29 Cristela Alonzo The Neptune Theatre Jim Jefferies: The Freedumb Tour The Moore Theatre Kids in the Hall The Paramount Theatre 28 SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP Cristela Alonzo Throughout the month of May, STG will host some of the best live touring comedy the nation has to offer. Kicking things off are Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally, who are yanking the britches right off of their celebrity marriage for their “Summer of 69” tour. Then Marc Maron, from his star-studded “WTF” podcast will bring his smart brand of comedy out on the road to The Neptune Theatre. STG is excited to host rising star Cristela Alonzo at The Neptune. Cristela made TV history in 2014, by being the first Latina to create, produce and star in a network TV sitcom, “Cristela,” an achievement which caps a whirlwind year. She released “Some of the Hits,” her first stand-up CD through Comedy Central and will be making her feature film debut in the upcoming Angry Birds movie. Take advantage of the chance to see Cristela in an intimate theatre while you can! Jim Jefferies will bring his Freedumb Tour to The Moore, following the success of his Netflix Comedy Special “Bare”, which took the coveted #1 spot as Comedy Special of the year. The finale for this month of laughs is a reunion of acclaimed Canadian sketchcomedy troupe, Kids in the Hall! There’s sure to be surprises at every show, so get your tickets now and take a break from the daily grind with some hilarious entertainers!

LOCAL ARTS – LOCAL ARTISTS – GLOBAL ISSUES Nights at the Neptune is a series of summer events, offered free to the public and to the artists. Here’s how it works – local artists/ arts organizations respond to a call for artists. A panel of local artists, entrepreneurs, activists and advocates who select the final list of participants review applications. The Neptune Theatre is opened to the artists, for free, to mount a performance, also free to the public. This is performing arts by the people, for the people with an emphasis on presentations that address issues of race and social justice. This is A People’s Theatre Joint! Nights at the Neptune is an invitation to embrace local artistic expression as a movement toward renewed connection to our own artists and the artistic process. We’re creating a new space for new voices. 2015 Nights at the Neptune takes place June 10 - July 16.
