"Time of Your Life," The Feast, Parnassus by Base Camp, Westlake

Be a fly on the wall at the greatest dive bar of the last century. William Saroyan's masterpiece features a rich man trying to do good, a sex worker evading a vice cop, a society couple slumming it with the riff-raff, a bored housewife looking for something to do, an old cowboy spinning tales that probably didn’t happen, a teenager trying desperately to get laid, and the worst stand-up comic in history. In The Feast's new staging, you'll be up close and personal with eight virtuosic actors as they bring to life more than 30 characters who drink, dance, fight, play music and try to make sense of the world outside.

All tickets sold on a "Pay Your Wage" system.   Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.

"Table 17," Union Arts Center, Downtown Seattle

If your ex called, would you answer? Jada and Dallas were once engaged. Now, two years after their breakup, they’re sitting across from each other at dinner, trying to keep it casual. Good luck with that. Between a waiter with no boundaries, wounds that never quite healed, and a spark that neither one of them can ignore, this “simple dinner” is about to go off script. From two-time Emmy nominee and playwright Douglas Lyons, Table 17 is the best date night you’ll have all season. Grab your person and make a reservation 

Limited $5 tickets available online for each performance, best bought in advance.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.














"Nanay," Pork-Filled Productions, Theatre Off Jackson, International District

Angela arrives to congratulate her twin sister on her new baby, but instead finds Eve “coexisting” with a Filipino demon infamous for their hunger of all things fetus. Does Angela believe Eve’s claims that all is well with her new relationship? Nanay, a new play by Molly Olis Krost, incorporates Filipino mythology and tradition to explore our pre-colonial relationship with sister-hood, loss, and mothering.

Sliding Scale tickets available for all performances starting at $7.  Click here for tickets and more info.






















"Mink River," Book-It Repertory Theatre, Center Theater, Seattle Center

Set in the fictional coastal town of Neawanaka, Mink River unfolds as we watch Doyle’s richly imagined world, centered on Salish and Irish storytelling cultures, including a mischievous talking crow named Moses, in a moving celebration of resilience, humor, and belonging. 

Performed in two parts, this intimate production invites audiences into a costal Oregon town where unforgettable characters navigate every day life, shared heritage, and the extraordinary ways a community comes together.

Developed over nearly a decade by Platt and Jane Unger, founding Artistic Director Emerita of Portland’s Profile Theatre, Mink River marks Book-It’s second show in its newest chapter with its intentionally nimble, artist-driven model. This special sneak peek into Book-It’s creative process features a cast of 16 actors with scripts in hand. Playing over 30 different characters, the actors’ talents are supported by scenic, lighting, costumes, sound and choreographed movement.  

Audiences are invited to attend Part One and Part Two, or experience the complete story across both performances. While each part offers its own satisfying theatrical experience, the full journey reveals the remarkable tapestry of interconnected lives that defines Doyle’s celebrated novel.

Pay-what-you-can tickets are available by contacting info@book-it.org with the subject line “PWYC”.








"Mimesophobia: Or Before & After," inD Theatre, Rolling Bay Hall, Bainbridge Island

They seemed like the perfect couple. Affluent. Attractive. Well-educated. Why did the husband brutally murder his wife and then take his own life? A desperate screenwriting duo struggles with severe writer's block to unearth the answer. The murder victim's sister reconstructs from the ashes a diary that may or may not contain the secrets. And a deranged academic, haunted by her own possible involvement, meditates on the American obsession with violence. In the face of inexplicable violence, whose myth will most closely resemble the truth of what happened?

"Gaza: The Silence Shouts," Dunya Productions, Cherry Street Village, Cherry Hill

Unfolds in three parts, following Palestinian lives through forced displacement, repeated journeys home, and the intimate, impossible decisions that loom when a ceasefire is announced. Woven from poetry, family conversations, and the ordinary language of people living through genocide, the play holds grief next to desire, bitter humor, and unfinished domestic life. A key survives its door. A needle stands in a piece of embroidery. Above the houses, drones watch; beyond Gaza, people watch, too.

"Art is for Everyone" tickets available starting at $11.80 online.  Click here for tickets, showtimes, and more info.









"Nabucco," Puget Sound Concert Opera, Various Locations, Seattle

Verdi’s Nabucco unleashes a storm of power, prophecy, and political upheaval as a king’s descent into madness collides with a people’s fight for freedom. Expect sweeping drama, towering choruses, and the raw emotional force that made this opera a cornerstone of the repertoire. Performed in Italian with supertitles and a 6 piece chamber ensemble.

"I Am My Own Wife," Intiman Theatre, Erickson Theatre Off Broadway, Capitol Hill

Based on a true story, I Am My Own Wife tells the fascinating tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German trans woman who managed to survive both the Nazi onslaught and the repressive East German Communist regime, and the playwright who becomes obsessed with her story. In a stunning tour de force performance, one actor brings nearly 40 characters to life for a riveting look at memory, truth, and what it takes to survive.

10 free tickets reserved for each show, given away at door one hour before curtain.  Click here for showtimes and more info.











"Sad Boys in Harpy Land," Alex Tatarsky, On The Boards, Belltown

In this unhinged solo performance, self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist” Alex Tatarsky ushers audiences through an absurdist hellscape of the mind. Equal parts sad clown, demented cabaret, and extended crisis of meaning, Sad Boys in Harpy Land confronts anguish through humor in a spiraling narrative of artmaking and despair. Through a series of existential vignettes, Tatarsky fuses autobiographical bones of their own story onto those of equally tormented protagonists from sources including Goethe, Dante, Amiri Baraka, Helen Adams, and Seinfeld. A coming-apart coming-of-age story, Tatarsky presents a highly calibrated mess in a tour-de-farce performance that challenges the idea of individual malady, and instead embraces the turbulent maze of shared struggle.

Pay What You Choose tickets starting at $1 available for all performances.  Limited capacity.  Click here for tickets and more info.
