Seattle Rep’s ‘Dry Powder’ provides a fast-paced, hilarious look at modern business

AXS: Seattle Repertory Theatre’s latest offering Dry Powder by Sarah Burgess gives audiences a look inside the often hidden world of private equity finance. These are the people who buy and take over companies then turn them into something that is profitable for themselves, often with little concern for the company being acquired or its employees. This is the crux of the story masterfully presented by just four actors in ninety-five minutes on the Rep’s Leo K Theatre stage.
