This weekend's world premiere comes courtesy of Erin Jorgensen and Steve Fisk. Here are a few things about Erin to help you get acquainted with her before the show this weekend!
Erin is probably best known around Seattle for her band, The French Project. The group has performed their covers of everything from Serge Gainsbourg and Edith Piaf to Dire Straits and Pat Benatar at places like Northwest Film Forum, ReBar and the Rendezvous.

Sunday morning emails about Rabih Mroue Jan 22, 2012
by Jessica
Here are some of the emails I woke up to this morning about yesterday's performances of Looking for a missing employee. And remember - there's a new show by Rabih Mroue tonight.
UPDATE: here are a couple more from the afternoon:
Dearest On the Boards,
What a supreme treat to be the holder of season tickets this year. Not only did I purchase the Northwest Series, but also the International and it has been an honor to witness the talent, genius and raw expression of the artists you have brought to Seattle. (Yes, it's a plug, on my own advisement to other's who have yet to do so - get season tickets!)
Mroué’s performance not only shared compelling insight into the press of his homeland, but his methods for storytelling about a mystery man, his life and mainly his death, were riveting and creative...

Rabih Mroue's "Looking for a missing employee" Jan 21, 2012
by Mary
Looking for a missing employee, Rabih Mroué’s awarding winning performance/theater takes the audience into a different dimension. The experience alters the idea of traditional theater. The charisma of the detective pulls you into the maze of the world of the “missing”. Deconstructing and constructing truths/untruths tracked with the layers of articles collected about “the missing employee”.
Rabih Mroué, performed by Mroué himself, a detective/storyteller humorously discloses assorted clues into the 1996 disappearance of Raafat Suleiman, a civil servant of the Ministry of Finance in Lebanon. We are lead through the layers of information collected; newspaper clipping, found objects, photocopies and video mirrored by a live illustrator drawing the timeline as the “detective” uncovers the clues. The audience follows facts, misconceptions and cover-ups with the backdrop of the politics of the Lebanese Civil War, looming.
We now find ourselves on this detective’s...
