"Snowed In (Again)," ArtsWest, West Seattle

Last year, a new holiday tradition was born as ArtsWest sent four of Seattle’s hottest musical theater stars on a cozy retreat to write the most perfect holiday show the world had ever seen.  But when a blizzard hit, tensions rose and the crumpled-up notebook pages began to pile up even faster than the snow. This year, four more stars scramble to remount last year’s holiday hit.  With hindsight on their side, the process should be foolproof.  What could possibly go wrong? 

Inspired by classic holiday TV specials and musicals about putting on a musical, witness this new Seattle theater tradition as four of the city’s most beloved musical theater stars take you on a journey of song, dance, friendship, family, and the true meaning of the holidays. 

This new musical is a based on Snowed In by Corinne Park-Buffelen and Mathew Wright.

"Love's Labor's Lost," Seattle Shakespeare Company, Center Theater at Seattle Armory, Seattle Center

In pursuit of everlasting fame, would you give up sleep, food, and the company of women?

The King and his buddies, to secure their legacies, vow to do just that.

This battle of Wits versus Heart may play like a game, but you will soon see that the consequences are real.

"Indian School," Timothy White Eagle, On the Boards,  Belltown

Indian School is a poignant solo performance by Timothy White Eagle, delving into themes of cultural displacement and identity. Pulling together timelines from America’s ongoing projects of genocide and hydraulic engineering that reshape landscapes and relationships to land, White Eagle explores imperfect archives of family history and tactics of assimilation that separate us from understanding and belonging where we are now. In it, he examines the narrative of his grandfather being forcibly removed from his tribal family and lands and sent to the Phoenix Indian School, reflecting a dark period in American history when Native American children were often taken from their families and subjected to assimilationist policies in government-run boarding schools. As he navigates his own journey of adoption and heritage, the performance offers a compelling narrative of intergenerational trauma and resilience, enriched by stunning theatrical visuals and a unique storytelling style that spans time and place. "Indian School" ultimately celebrates the transformative power of storytelling and ritual art theatre in understanding and honoring Indigenous experiences.

The evening-length event features new and past collaborators in an ambitious production that combines light, sound, video, and theatrical magic to literally and figuratively immerse the audience in a river of memory. It includes original music by Olivia Komacheet, live sound design by Crystal Cortez, video projection and scenic design by Juniper Shuey, a conceptual video installation of archival imagery by DB Amorin, lighting by Geoff Korf, and dramaturgy by Hatlo. Indian School is in development, with multiple residencies across the country—from the Mojave River and Joshua Tree National Park to Guild Hall in South Hampton, NYC, and an Indian School archive in Pennsylvania—culminating in an 'avant-premier' in Seattle in November 2024 and a world-premier in early 2025.

"The Pomegranate Tree," Dacha Theatre, Theatre Off Jackson, International District

Theatre Off Jackson has been transformed into the Underworld itself for the union of Persephone and Hades, and you are invited! The Pomegranate Tree extends this honor to you mortals, who are usually forbidden in such divine spaces — but the myths you’ve read about these immortal beings have been mere whispers of the truth you’ll encounter. These gods, in all their conflict and longing, are more like you than you may think… and they’re in desperate need of your wisdom. Can you help them navigate love, death, and perhaps the hardest challenge of all: family?

This is a devised theater piece disguised as a party, which invites you to dress up, enjoy libations, dance, and help craft the narrative anew each night. Our colorful cast of deities, some familiar, some strange, will transport you to an ethereal plane where your presence will make all the difference — whether you choose to engage with them directly, or observe them from afar.
