Melancholy Play: While not a burlesque show, this is a piece of fringe theater that I reccomend you see.  Presented by Seattle STAGEright Theatre, this play by Sarah Ruhl, is about an irresistable melancholic and the people whose lives she touches.  When she suddenly become happy it wreaks havoc in the lives of those around her.  Opening July 15th @ Freehold Theater.  Check out http://www.seattlestageright.org/ for more information.
