Written, Directed and Performed by Jen Rowe
Dramaturgy Team: Lauren Weedman, Jessica Dart and Zoubir Lounes

“If you’re looking for the ultimate luxury getaway, this is not your hotel. If you need swimming pools, gyms, reliable WIFI, – this is not your hotel. But if you’re looking for somewhere “unique” to stay in the heart of Seattle – somewhere with “character”, “easy on the wallet”, once you stay at the Moore, you’ll never stay anywhere else ever again.”

A locked door, a botched surgery, a crappy customer service job, an empty hotel, a third grade superhero, and a Cranberries concert.

After extensive development work in Los Angeles with renowned playwright/actor Lauren Weedman (The People’s Republic of Portland, Hacks, Abbott Elementary, Arrested Development), Jen Rowe (Grimm, The Librarians) performs:
IMGONNAWANNA an exploration of being trapped in a bathroom and what it can take to find a way out.

What They Say:

”You’re in for a sardonically funny and incredibly well put together good time”

“Loved the frame of the story. The physicality was so beautiful and detailed, it reminded me of the mime Bill Bowers. I loved how you told vulnerable stories with a sense of humor, as a woman who has experienced both thematic elements, I felt safe while in the audience. I loved the flow of the story, how specific and easy it was to know a transition happened.
I loved laughing so much.” 

“Loved the whole Performance – the energy, the range, the timing, the humor!”

“Jen moves beautifully and honestly through moments so quickly and so truthfully.”

“Layered and interwoven with hilarious, entertaining elements that seem superficial, but aren’t really. The effect was of a slightly manic stream-of-consciousness, a dip into the psyche of someone who’s wounded but tough, intermittently self-aware, and endearing. I loved it overall. The physical element, the acting-out of various phases, was also brilliant and engaging.”

“Loved the pace and flashbacks. The bits of info that may not make sense yet – then lock into place as the story unfolds”

“I loved how she wove all the stories – ​​So many things – I loved her physical work”

”The characters and transitions, the use of the chair, all so memorable…she’s created something really beautiful.”

”Really liked the show. I’ve filmed hundreds, and hers is up there.”

”Loved it! Especially the perfectly specific physicality.”
