"Walden," ArtsWest, West Seattle

An intimate family drama that asks big questions about how we take care of the world we share. 

Set in the near future where society is divided between those who want to leave Earth behind and those who want to save the planet, this intimate play centers twin sisters, both NASA scientists, as they grapple with their future and their past.

$10 Tickets available for Saturday and Sunday performances online using promo code "INCLUSION."  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.














"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.

10 Free for Everyone tickets available in-person, distributed 30mins before the show.  Click here for showtimes and more info.

Step through the looking glass and lose yourself in a jazz-fueled dream where rhythm leads the way.

"The Best Damn Thing," Dacha Theatre, 12th Ave Arts Building, Capitol Hill

In 2002 the Lord sent us a prophet: A Canadian Queen who waged war against the status quo one loose necktie at a time. A rebel with a soft side. A Pop Punk Princess with an army of disciples who believed in earnest that ordinariness was death and that a red “X” on the sleeve of their leather jacket was life.

We refused to listen to her, and look where we are now.

Enter: Ellie, a lonely teenager growing up in Missouri, who knows with all her heart that Avril Lavigne's message must be heard. So, for her savior, she has written what just might be the best jukebox musical ever conceived.

​She’s ready to share it with the world, starting with her former best friend Rachel, their theatre teacher’s favorite, who she thinks can help her pitch it for their school’s spring musical.

The Best Damn Thing is a boldly theatrical exploration of young women’s genius and power in the face of a society hellbent on holding them back.

"Wife of Headless Man Investigates Her Own Disappearance," Annex Theatre, Capitol Hill

A reporter experiences a chunk of missing time after interviewing a tech billionaire who hasn’t taken kindly to her negative articles about him. Was she drugged during the meal? How did she end up in a hotel room after meeting him in a restaurant? And if she was drugged, is that why, when she returns home, her husband appears as fully alive and functioning and headless?

"Hurricane Diane," Seattle Public Theater, Green Lake

"Man of La Mancha," Reboot Theatre, Theatre Off Jackson, International District


Through a feminist lens, this reimagining of the classic tale shows continued control of women by patriarchal systems—and their resurgence in America today. Performed by an all-women/TGNC ensemble, each character represents a person from the diverse legacy of women’s history, from Alice Paul and Dorothy Pittman Hughes to Cecilia Chung and everyone fighting in their own way today. Each character is drawn from key decades in the ongoing fight for women's rights including the pivotal battles of the 21st century. Both urgent and hopeful, the production asks: what does it mean to dream the impossible dream when your voice, your rights, and your choices are at risk.

"Again, There is No Other (The Remix)," Amy O'Neal, On the Boards, Belltown

Again, There Is No Other (The Remix) is a dark and joyful ritual merging street dance forms and contemporary dance. The work interrogates fear of the Feminine in patriarchal culture, asking: If perceptions of race and gender are inseparable, can we be a post-gender society when we are far from a post-race society? 

Through hybridizing the nightclub, the cypher (the circle), and the theater, five physically multilingual, femme-identified dancers explore touch, support, the imperative of connection, the tensions of identity, and the embrace of difference.

"Circle Mirror Transformation," InD Theatre, Rolling Bay Hall, Whidby Island

In the quiet town of Shirley, Vermont, a quintet of strangers—a vulnerable carpenter, a reserved teenager, a wandering actress, and a bohemian couple—gather in a community center for a six-week "creative drama" class. Through a series of quirky theater games led by their well-meaning instructor, the group’s defenses slowly unravel, exposing their hidden hopes, fears, and desires. As laughter and vulnerability collide, secrets simmer beneath the surface, and every moment holds the possibility of transformation. Annie Baker’s acclaimed play invites audiences to witness the humor, heartbreak, and longing that connect us all—and to discover what happens when ordinary lives intersect in extraordinary ways.
