"Rose: You Are Who You Eat," Rose Jarboe, On The Boards, Belltown
Once upon a vine, Rose Jarboe’s aunt revealed that Rose not only had a twin sister in the womb, but that Rose consumed her: “You ate her. That’s why you are the way you are.” This was a lot for Rose to swallow! In this musical shrine to her consumed twin, Rose welcomes you into a feast of gender through song, storytelling, and a full plate of wordplay. Produced in partnership with the Bearded Ladies Cabaret. Featuring all original music written in collaboration with Emily Bate, Rose Jarboe, and Pax Ressler.

"TOPDOG / UNDERDOG," ArtsWest, West Seattle
A darkly comic fable of brotherly love and family identity. It was inevitable that two brothers named Lincoln and Booth, names given to them as a joke, would live lives full of sibling rivalry and resentment. Despite it all, their bond grew deep, but can it withstand the weight of history?
TOPDOG/UNDERDOG is about the struggle to reach success in a system that is rigged. This drama packs a punch with as much comedy as it has intensity. A rooming house room the size of a boxing ring becomes a pressure cooker for the two brothers who share a past and are carving their own paths as they strive towards their dreams for the future.
Director Valerie Curtis-Newton remarks, “The life of a dog in the fight is a life that breeds paranoia. The under dog is always watching their back and struggling to reach the top. The top dog gets to call the shots, but for how long? TOPDOG/UNDERDOG puts the pain of that cycle under a microscope with the hope that in investigating it, we can learn to break it.”

Do the deer really lead you home? Who is the Lady In Yellow? And how far can they make it in Slide?

"Seussical," Ballyhoo Theatre, Black Box Theatre at Edmonds College, Edmonds
Seussical (Theatre for Youth Audiences), written by Tony-winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo, who has too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge – not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie. Although Horton faces many obstacles, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, chosen family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
