"The Taming of the Shrew," StudioEast, Kirkland

This fast-paced and witty comedy brings to life one of Shakespeare’s most iconic battle-of-the-sexes stories. In The Taming of the Shrew, sparks fly when the sharp-tongued and strong-willed Katherina meets her match in the bold and clever Petruchio. As the two clash and scheme, the play explores themes of gender roles, identity, and love, all with humor and heart. Full of wordplay, disguises, and lively characters, this classic tale continues to entertain and spark conversation.

Reduced price tickets available for $13.   Click here for tickets and more info.

"Full Circle," Seattle Central College, Erickson Theatre Off Broadway, Capitol Hill

Full Circle is Charles Mee's topsy-turvy near-fairy tale-- a blast from the past, from days full of change and possibility. Economies crashing, political landscapes imploding, and mothers abandoning their babies-- the turbulent days following the fall of the Berlin Wall set the scene for an uproarious tale that explores a world reimagined even as it crumbles.

General Admission Tickets $13.  Click here for tickets and more info.

"End of Lear & Border: Home," Baker Theatre Workshop, ReAct Theatre, Pioneer Square

Border:Home does more than raise a voice of protest against the US’s current policy of granting precious few asylum claims and repelling families seeking shelter: it spotlights the human dimensions of the tragedy and the struggle to make some kind of positive contribution.

Border:Home will be presented alongside another one-act called The End of Lear: Four Kings, an adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy. Continuing Baker’s dramatic explorations of King Lear, this one-act piece depicts the original text from Lear’s perspective.

In The End of Lear, four dynamic Seattle actors simultaneously unearth the varied facets of this Shakespearean king: his cruelty toward his loved ones, his anxiety about how others perceive him, and his propensity for transforming the world into merely a stage for his personal drama.

Admission is free.  Click here for tickets and more info.

"You Will Get Sick," Sound Theatre, Center Theater at Seattle Armory, Seattle Center

You Will Get Sick by playwright Noah Diaz is a new play in second person and a recipient of the Kennedy Center’s Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award. 

The story begins with a loss of balance that spreads through the body, ultimately leading to the act of hiring a stranger to say aloud what one cannot bear to say: that you got sick. The play explores learning how to live within your body as you find your way home. 

New York Times Critic’s Pick—that “tells its tale in the most lively, surreal and surprising ways imaginable,” as the Times goes on to say. “It flies by, feeling even shorter yet fuller than its 85 minutes.”

Radical Inclusion tickets available starting at $5 for all shows.  Click here for tickets and more info.

"Continuity," Blue Hour Theater Group, 12th Ave Arts Building, Capitol Hill

A sheet of ice sits in the desert of New Mexico. A mad eco-terrorist plants a bomb in order to save humankind. A beleaguered film crew tries to get in one last shot before losing the light. In Continuity, a "play in six takes", storytelling and science collide with hilarious and devastating consequences.

CONTINUITY interrogates the role of storytelling in a world on the brink of actual environmental crisis and asks "How do we keep going when hope can seem as fictional as a Hollywood ending?" and also, "What's for lunch?"

A limited number of free and $10 "Art for All" tickets available for all performances.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.

"The Aliens," White Rabbits Inc., Seattle Open Arts Place, Central District

Two outsiders claim a rural Vermont coffee shop patio. When a shy teenage employee joins them, an unexpected bond forms. Annie Baker’s "The Aliens" is a quietly powerful play about connection, art, and feeling like you’re from another planet.

"different mistakes," OutCast Productions, Outcast Black Box Theater, Whidbey Island

​In this one-person show, jim carroll shares some deeply personal reflections on his life as a firefighter, an emergency medical technician, a son, a father, a husband, and a born-again secular humanist.

“different mistakes” is a reference to one of his core philosophies: if mistakes are inevitable, we ought to at least strive for variety. the show is candid, emotionally honest, and occasionally humorous; a random slice of one real life.

*Audiences are advised that this show includes stories which make reference to physical and emotional trauma, death, suicide and drug use.​

"Orlando," NovelTease, Theatre Off Jackson, International District

Midway through his 400 year existence, Orlando — an Elizabethan nobleman who feels equally at home crafting poetry or out on the hunt — wakes one day to find herself transformed into a woman. Through Virginia Woolf’s hilarious romp of a biography which shatters the barrier between fiction and non-fiction, adapter Jesse Belle-Jones explores the fluidity of time, gender, love, and nature where the only thing constant is change. (This is a burlesque-theatre hybrid.)

"How Do I Look?," Fauxnique, On The Boards, Belltown

How Do I Look? is the latest work from Monique Jenkinson/Fauxnique, the multifaceted artist, choreographer, writer, and performer best known as the first cisgender woman anywhere, ever to be crowned as a pageant-winning drag queen. With her rigorous ballet training buried in the bottom of her artistic toolbox, Jenkinson emerged out of a feminist, postmodern, improvisational dance lineage and into the nightclub scene. There, she fashioned Fauxnique in a laboratory of liberatory radical queer performance, reclaiming ballet and learning to use drag and theory as modes of inquiry and entertainment. Jenkinson brings this fluency to this latest work.

"The Fainting Spells," Intiman Cabaret, Erickson Theatre, Capitol Hill

Three classic comedies by Anton Chekhov get a bold, irreverent makeover in this theatrical romp featuring The Proposal, Swan Song, and The Harmful Effects of Tobacco. Romance turns ridiculous, lectures go off the rails, and tempers flare faster than you can say “existential dread.” With modern flair and a wink to the absurd, this evening serves up Chekhov’s wit at full tilt—proof that over-the-top emotions and awkward encounters never go out of style.
