"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.”

"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.

"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.

"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.

For the Miller siblings—two sisters, one brother, and a lifetime of baggage—agreeing on anything is a tall order.

MAJOR is a dance theater project exploring the physicality, history, sociopolitics, and interiority of majorette dance, a form that originated in the American South within Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 1960s.

"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!

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.
