"Mrs. Loman is Leaving," ACT Theatre, Downtown Seattle

Beloved Seattle playwright Katie Forgette returns to ACT with this world premiere first featured at ACT’s inaugural New Works Northwest Festival. This delightful backstage comedy unfolds on the opening night of the Teacup Theatre’s production of Death of a Salesman where two actors, returning after years away, find themselves grappling with more than just their roles. The stage becomes a platform for dramatic antics and witty repartee as the characters confront uncomfortable truths about identity, representation, and the stories theatres choose to tell — blurring the lines between reality and mania in this hilarious yet thought-provoking exploration of the human experience. 

PWYC Tickets available for all shows starting at $5 online.   $20 Rush tickets are also available for all shows that are not sold out, starting 60 minutes before curtain. Click here for tickets and more info

"The Park," Seattle Public Theatre, Greenlake

Bev and Libby meet on the same park bench, under the same tree, sharing sandwiches, dreams and memories for the entirety of their lives. Or maybe a century. Or maybe an eternity. Generations of strangers, families, dogs and ghosts share the same space, their lives passing and intersecting as each struggles to make sense of how to be in and of our troubled and beautiful world. The Park explores what we share in being human and how we must move forward even in uncertainty.

“Art is for Everyone” tickets are available online for $10.  Limited to 12 seats per performance. Click here for showtimes, tickets, and more info.

"Men on Boats," IND Theatre, Rolling Bay Hall, Bainbridge Island

A rollicking adventure that challenges traditional gender and cultural assumptions. With a gender-bent cast portraying the male explorers of John Wesley Powell’s 1869 expedition down the Colorado River, the play offers a fresh perspective on the American West and the nature of adventure itself. Whereas these historical figures were historically cisgender white males, the cast is made up entirely of people who are not. With humor, heart, and a thrilling narrative, “Men on Boats” uses unconventional storytelling to create thought-provoking and insightful lens on exploration and leadership.

Admission is free, though donations are encouraged. Click here for reservations and more info.
