"Ripcord," As If Threatre, Kenmore Community Club, Kenmore
Set in the sunny room on an upper floor of a senior living facility, the cantankerous Abby is forced to share her prime location with new-arrival Marilyn which gives her no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden.
All tickets for the March 27-30 performances are "Pay What You Can." Click here for tickets and more info.
"Titanic Depression," Dynasty Handbag, On the Boards, Belltown
A hilarious reimagining of the 1997 blockbuster film Titanic by the peerlessly subversive and wacky Dynasty Handbag.
Dynasty Handbag’s Titanic Depression sends up James Cameron’s 1997 Hollywood hit, reimagining it as a hilariously bleak parable of human arrogance in today’s era of runaway, consumerism-driven climate change. Co-presented by New York Live Arts as part of its 2023 Live Arts festival Planet Justice, Titanic Depression is Dynasty Handbag’s first major institutional commission in nearly eight years.
PWYC tickets available for each performance starting at $0.00. Click here for tickets and more info.
"Blue to Blue," Annex Theatre, Capitol Hill
What do you do when your mother dies, your father decides to mail you box after random box of her things, and Emily Dickinson poems begin appearing in everyone’s pockets? If you’re Beryl, you head to your job at the coffin-making shop and look for guidance from the two-person Greek chorus that now accompanies your changed life. Unfolding over three days in the 1990s and set in the ancient neighborhood of grief, Blue to Blue presents the timeless search for solace after loss and the unexpected ways it arrives.
"Oliver!," Reboot Theatre, Theatre Off Jackson, International District
