"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.

"Probed," Scott Shoemaker (Presented by Intiman Cabaret), Erickson Theatre Off Broadway, Capitol Hill

PROBED! is a hilarious supernatural comedy that “deeply probes” the depths of the UFO phenomena. Scott Shoemaker will be your host and guide for the evening, sharing strange and outrageous tales of Sasquatch, connections from beyond the grave, and everyday citizens who have been abducted by aliens… multiple times! You’ll be transported by this extraterrestrial comedy with songs, dance, and video that will leave you convinced that the truth is out there. WAY out there.

Intiman distributes 10 Free for Everyone tickets at the box office for every Cabaret performance on the day of the show on a first come, first served basis starting 30mins before curtain.

"Squeeze," Seattle Public Theatre, Green Lake

Inspired by the clowning of Buster Keaton and the existential absurdism of Samuel Beckett.

The ensemble and acclaimed playwright Trista Baldwin explores five clowns being shut out, in need, desperate to connect and vying for control of territory. Three simple platforms and a series of ladders connect or obstruct them all. Two stunning acrobats magically weave between personal vignettes that explore the issues of today's world.

A limited number of "Art is for Everyone" tickets are available for $10 online.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.  














"Emma," Dacha Theatre, 12th Avenue Arts, Capitol Hill


Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated and energetic...and in imminent danger of going mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs projects--and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma's considerable energies focus, screwball comedy follows... A fresh feminist take on a treasured classic, Hamill's Emma breaks down convention, expectation, and even the fourth wall with vibrant comic flair--leading audiences "forward, onward, and upward!

"In the Next Room (The Vibrator Play)," Seattle Open Arts Place, Central District

Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity in a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating "hysteria" in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor's laboratory, his young and energetic wife Catherine tries to tend to their newborn daughter-and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new "hysterical" patient, Sabrina, and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor's home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.
