"Dream, Carl, Dream!" Dacha Theatre, 12th Ave Arts, Capitol Hill
It's five minutes 'till Sleepytime and the latest set of rewrites are even worse than the last. The Director of Dreaming is considering pulling the plug and putting up another rerun of "Teeth Fall Out (School Assembly Version)" but the truth is everyone knows that the stakes are too high for that.
In their waking life, Carl seems to be holding it together, but in the depths of their subconscious, Carl knows they could be – want be – so much more. In fact, Carl’s dreams might just be the only connection they still have to their deepest self.
That's where you come in. In this immersive, interactive piece, you will assist the beleaguered neurons of the Dream Department in programming each night's dreams. Work alongside your mental colleagues during the day, and then sit back, relax, and watch the show once the dreams start to play. Plumb the depths of this unknown psyche deep enough and you may even find a way to show Carl what they truly need.

"Full Circle," Seattle Central College, Erickson Theatre Off Broadway, Capitol Hill
Full Circle is Charles Mee's topsy-turvy near-fairy tale-- a blast from the past, from days full of change and possibility. Economies crashing, political landscapes imploding, and mothers abandoning their babies-- the turbulent days following the fall of the Berlin Wall set the scene for an uproarious tale that explores a world reimagined even as it crumbles.

"End of Lear & Border: Home," Baker Theatre Workshop, ReAct Theatre, Pioneer Square
Border:Home does more than raise a voice of protest against the US’s current policy of granting precious few asylum claims and repelling families seeking shelter: it spotlights the human dimensions of the tragedy and the struggle to make some kind of positive contribution.
Border:Home will be presented alongside another one-act called The End of Lear: Four Kings, an adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy. Continuing Baker’s dramatic explorations of King Lear, this one-act piece depicts the original text from Lear’s perspective.
In The End of Lear, four dynamic Seattle actors simultaneously unearth the varied facets of this Shakespearean king: his cruelty toward his loved ones, his anxiety about how others perceive him, and his propensity for transforming the world into merely a stage for his personal drama.
