"The Wild Party," Sound Theatre Company, Center Theatre, Uptown

We are thrilled to kick off our 20th Anniversary Season with a show that holds a special place in our history. After more than a decade, we’re bringing back our electrifying 2013 hit: Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party—this time in an intimate, two-week concert-style run featuring an entirely new cast bringing fresh energy and bold new interpretations to this beloved work.

Directed by Corey McDaniel and Music Directed by Nathan Young, this darkly brilliant musical is inspired by Joseph Moncure March’s once-banned Jazz Age poem—an intoxicating tale of excess, desire, and the unraveling edges of pleasure.

Set in the Manhattan apartment of vaudeville performers Queenie and Burrs, a group of burlesque artists gathers for one unforgettable night. When a mysterious newcomer enters the mix, the couple’s already-fractured relationship is pushed to the brink, sending the party spinning into a glittering, dangerous spiral of temptation and thrill-seeking.

Inclusion Rate tickets available for $6 for all showtimes.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.








"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.” 

$10 Tickets Available Saturdays and Sundays online with the promo code "INCLUSION" .  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.

"Next Exit," Annex Theatre, Capitol Hill

Trapped on the side of the highway on the record setting hottest day, Miguel passes the time with Orlando, a dead possum. Together they question anything and everything that crosses their minds, all the while a sinister being lurks in the forest waiting to claim a lost soul left to die by the cars that pass along I-5. Do the deer really lead you home? Who is the Lady In Yellow? And how far can they make it in Slide?

"Ashes, Ashes, We All Fall Down," As If Theatre Company, Kenmore Community Club, Kenmore

A dramedy about what happens when the skeletons in the closet meet the ashes in the jar.

For the Miller siblings—two sisters, one brother, and a lifetime of baggage—agreeing on anything is a tall order. As they finally come together to scatter the ashes of a loved one, the ghosts of their past come calling and the meeting becomes less about the destination and more about the bumpy road they’ve traveled together.

"Lear (Alone)" and "Walking on a Paper Moon," Baker Theater Workshop, ReAct Theatre, Stadium Area

A series of two one act plays inspired by King Lear.

Lear (alone) is a portrait of Lear without his crown, without his daughters and wandering in a terrible storm. He encounters loyal followers, a (possibly) mad philosopher, an old friend in disguise, and a hovel for this houseless assembly seeking shelter.

It's a tender portrait and a challenging one. The rich rely on the poor, the line between the mad and the sane seems uncertain, and Lear is indeed very much alone as he considers what has become of his life.

"Walking on a Paper Moon" is the latest installment of Baker Theater Workshop's commission series for playwrights under age 18.  It brings a new poignant short play by Lorelai Kaplan and Eleanor Iona Edlefsen: a portrait of a small family wrestling with grief, with love, and with broken hearts even as men land on the moon in 1969. And a bit of music!

Tickets are free.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.

"South Sound Festival of New Works," CenterStage, Federal Way

The New Works Festival has 3 performance times, with a different show in each slot. 

Choose whichever show intrigues you most, or choose one and have a friend choose another and come see two, or,  show your love and dedication to local playwrights and homegrown artistry by catching all 3 performances! (And yes, we’ll have concessions and bar!)

"Currents:" This operetta follows follows the Nakata family from Bainbridge Island, during WWII. Military intelligence, incarceration, balloon bombs, and the Japanese god of wind all play a role in this haunting, beautiful story of a family trapped between worlds.

"16 Days and Counting:" A mother and daughter’s already odd relationship is put to the test on a cruise ship with a cabin that they will share for 16 days. They seem to have found a way to live around each other, with mom avoiding all the questions her daughter is dying to ask her, and the 16 days are almost up...until a passenger is found to have something called Covid-19. It is January 2020, and suddenly their time together gets a lot longer, and a lot more complicated. 

"L’Dor Vador:" As the Feinman family comes together to mourn the loss of their matriarch, a knock at the door and a visit from a stranger causes them to dig into secrets and stories they never dreamt they would find. This humorous, poignant, and at times intense play asks us to question how much of what we pass down to the next generation is within our control and how much is locked in our DNA.
