"The Grown-Ups," Dacha Theatre, Various Locations, King County
Welcome to Camp Indigo Woods! (The alumni aren’t thrilled about the name change, but it’s really way more ~ inclusive ~ this way!) The campers are all finally asleep, and the lake is getting quiet. Crack a cold one, make a s'more, tell a scary story. Figure out what you're going to have to do in the morning to keep camp fun and safe without letting the kids find out about... well, you've seen the news.
Following a group of camp counselors trying to mold the leaders of tomorrow when tomorrow is looking bleaker and bleaker, The Grown-Ups explores the traditions that change us, what it takes for us to change them, and how to change yourself when you're hopelessly, tragically not prepared for this.

"Much Ado About Nothing" and "Anima (her soul)," Island Shakespeare Festival, Whidbey Island
"Much Ado About Nothing" - In a world where words are weapons and wit is a shield, Beatrice refuses to be anything but fiercely independent—until she finds herself caught in a battle of the heart with the equally sharp-tongued Benedick. Meanwhile, her gentle cousin Hero faces a trial of public shame and betrayal, testing the strength of her quiet resolve. Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing is a sparkling comedy of deception, honor, and unexpected love, where women must carve their own paths amid a society eager to define them.
This season, fearless women defy the status quo, rewrite the rules, and prove that love and selfhood are not a choice—they’re a revolution.
"Anima (her soul)" - The art world is rarely considered the intersection of passion and propriety. But painter Olga de Velaris finds herself at just that crossroads, testing the limits of how much she can express. In 1890’s Rome, she is surrounded by women who must navigate the tightrope of reputation, desire, and survival. Anima is a powerful, rarely staged drama that lays bare the tension between self-determination and the longing for connection, revealing that love—when truly seen—does not have to mean surrender. Step into this quirky, disarming, and award-winning play for an examination of who we’re really seeking.
This season, fearless women defy the status quo, rewrite the rules, and prove that love and selfhood are not a choice—they’re a revolution.
