Seattle, blessedly, bursts with new-works theater festivals these days. This month, a new festival with a unique spin on the format returns to Kerry Hall: Over three days, Starstuff: A Festival of Solo Artists will build a constellation of works that speak to one another, honoring the collaborative connections between artists, and between artist and audience. “I wanted to infuse this festival with everything that I wanted for artists, everything I wanted as an audience and everything that I wanted when I was fully a performer,” said Billie Wildrick, an uber-talented Seattle musical theater artist and the creative architect/artistic director of Starstuff, which debuted last year.  This year’s Starstuff runs Oct. 23-25, presented with Seattle Theatre Group. The festival’s format intentionally groups artists in constellations so their work can illuminate one another. Each block will feature a 15-minute interdisciplinary work, a songwriter performing an original song, a 60- to 80-minute solo show and another new song created in response to that show.

Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany 'Hadn't Spoken' in Years By Libel Trial - Variety

Paul Bettany opened up in a recent interview with The Times about the public’s misconception of his relationship with Johnny Depp after text messages between the two actors were used in court during Depp’s libel lawsuit against The Sun. “I hadn’t spoken to Johnny in years when that happened and I haven’t spoken to him since. I was being painted as this close friend of a guy I hadn’t spoken to in years and, honestly, amid all the shit two celebrities threw at each other, that bit was the most odd,” Paul told the publication.
