"An Enemy of the People," Union Arts Center, Downtown Seattle
The Tony Award-winning adaptation comes to Seattle! Amy Herzog’s “smart, sharp, and relevant” (Deadline) take on this Henrik Ibsen timeless classic wraps us deep in an entangled web of truth, power and complacency. Dr. Stockmann has it all – but when he uncovers a catastrophe in the making that threatens lives, he runs up against those in power. As tensions rise, Stockmann must choose: follow his conscience, and risk destruction? Or join the conspiracy?

"Stage of Fools," Seattle Public Theatre, Green Lake
A scrappy feminist theater company is about to go under when they receive an offer they can't refuse: has-been 80s action movie star Jake Stone will endow them with more money than they've ever dreamed of, if they'll produce King Lear, with him in the titular role. Never mind that he's an entitled, egotistical blowhard. These women can survive anything for the sake of the theater they love...right?

"Occurrence #14," Spectrum Dance Theater, Madrona
Spectrum Dance Theater is proud to continue its OCCURRENCE series, a bold and imaginative choreographic format first introduced on March 20, 2016, at La Usina del Arte in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Premiered as the culminating public presentation of a U.S. Embassy residency, OCCURRENCE #1 was modeled on the spirit of a Merce Cunningham EVENT—a performance constructed of complete dances, excerpts, and new sequences arranged specifically for the site, often layered with multiple actions occurring simultaneously.
What distinguishes OCCURRENCE within Artistic Director Donald Byrd’s body of work is its deliberate embrace of experimentation, process, and choreographic play. “This is my playtime,” says Byrd. “It’s when I get to nerd out as a choreographer. I recombine past work with new material, guided by imagination and the pursuit of the next right thing to do.”
In the OCCURRENCE series, Byrd reconfigures choreographic elements like a child rearranging blocks—placing familiar sequences in new contexts, layering movement phrases not originally meant to coexist, shifting background moments to the foreground, and exploring the impact of music, or its absence. Each OCCURRENCE becomes a one-of-a-kind dance collage: ephemeral, rigorous, and alive with possibility.
