"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?

"Shrew," Union Arts Center, Downtown Seattle

Experience Shakespeare’s play of matrimonial misery as you’ve never seen it before.

"Godspell," IND Theatre, Rolling Bay Hall, Bainbridge Island

Godspell was the first major musical theatre offering from three-time Grammy and Academy Award winner, Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, Children of Eden), and it took the world by storm. Led by the international hit, "Day by Day," Godspell features a parade of beloved songs, including "Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord," "Learn Your Lessons Well," "All for the Best," "All Good Gifts," "Turn Back, O Man" and "By My Side."

A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus' life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus' messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life.

"Almonds Blossom in Deir Yassin," Dunya Productions, Cherry Street Village, Central District

Set at the site of a massacred Palestinian village--Deir Yassin--which is now occupied by an Israeli mental health institution, this play explores the collective memory of the Palestinian people. Through a multiplicity of voices and vividly surreal scenes, the four characters deliver a profoundly relevant narrative about atrocity, displacement, human relationships, and hope.

Playwright Hanna Eady says, “Through remembrance, storytelling, and resilience, the play demonstrates the essence of Palestinian sumud, or steadfastness. This is not a passive quality, but an active one that perseveres through attempts to silence historical truths.”

"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.

"The Turn of the Screw," Island Shakespeare Festival, Various Locations, Whidby Island

Based on the 1898 provocative tale of suspense, horror and repressed sexuality, this adaptation gives the famous story yet another turn of its own. A young governess journeys to a lonely English manor house to care for two recently orphaned children. But she is not their first governess. Her predecessor, Miss Jessel, drowned herself when she became pregnant by the sadistic valet, Peter Quint, who was himself found dead soon after under mysterious circumstances. Now the new governess has begun to see the specters of Quint and Jessel haunting the children, and she must find a way to stop the fiends before it is too late. But one frightening question tortures the would-be heroine: Are the ghosts real, or are they the product of her own fevered imagination?

"Outside Mullingar, As If Theatre, Kenmore Community Club,  Kenmore

Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits who live on adjoining farms in the Irish countryside. Neighbors for generations, things come to a head when Tony Reilly, Anthony’s father, reveals his plan to disinherit him and sell the farm to another relative. As a feud simmers between the two families old secrets, surprising truths, and long-hidden feelings threaten to emerge.

In this quintessentially Irish story, the heartbreaking and the hilarious are woven together to create a deeply moving story of yearning, loss, family, romance, and the vulnerability of taking a chance on love.

Nominated for three Sound on Stage Awards for Best Play, Best Director, and Best Actor, this captivating production of Outside Mullingar was originally presented as the inaugural show of Bainbridge Island’s Studio Series in 2024. Running only five performances, this highly acclaimed co-production between BPA and Circle of Fire Theatre felt unfinished. Its director, Cindy Giese French, suggested a co-production between As If and Circle of Fire Theatre to bring this magic back to the mainland. We are so excited excited to share it with a wider audience.

Playing at the historic Kenmore Community Club, which backs up to the Burke-Gilman trail in the heart of Brewery Row. Walk, bike, roll or stroll down to the KCC for this funny and heartfelt show.

Runs approximately 100 minutes with no intermission.

"Yaga," DACHA, 12th Avenue Arts,  Capitol Hill

In-over-his-head detective Rapp finds himself in an isolated, college town asking what the disappearance of a young heir to a yogurt empire has to do with a random folktale about an old witch. Matched by an apprehensive local sheriff, a university professor with a taste for younger men, and a whole cast of curious characters, the Slavic myth of Baba Yaga twists into a new labyrinth of secret lives, ancient magic, and multiple suspects in Kat Sandler’s Yaga. 

Sandler’s script is thrilling, sexy, and genre defying, and Dacha’s production, virtuosic in its theatricality, is a tour-de-force by three actors. As you enter Baba Yaga’s woods, you’ll soon realize that this is not a typical night at the theater. But then again Baba Yaga is not your typical witch. She will lure you in and keep you guessing until the bitter end. So turn your back to the woods, avoid spoilers at all costs, and keep your wits about you.

"For Colored Boyz," The Underground Theatre, Base Camp Studio, Downtown Seattle

FOR COLORED BOYZ on the verge of a nervous breakdown/ when freedom ain’t enuff is an unabashed display of blackness that's unapologetic and speaks to the human heart from a black man's perspective. Originally written after the death of Michael Brown (August 9, 2014), this is a love letter to the black man in all his glory, vulnerability, psychosis, and heartbreak. This piece brings social issues to the stage and addresses issues within the black community that is taboo. Afro-centric rhythms and dance are the pulse of this piece and must be handled delicately.

FOR COLORED BOYZ resonates with its audiences no matter their ethnicity or demographic; there is a common thread that brings us all together when sitting in the dark watching this show; to go forth with understanding and love.

Standing Room tickets available online for $10.24.  Will be converted to seats if seats available.   Click here for ticket, showtimes, and more info.

Ballyhoo Theatre Mainstage presents: The Spitfire Grill. In this musical by James Valcq and Fred Alley, Percy Talbot has just been released from prison and is seeking a fresh start. Tearing a page from an old travel book, she makes her way to the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin. The local sheriff, Joe Sutter, finds her a job at the Spitfire Grill, and through her healing, she helps to transform the town from one of despair to one of hope and new beginnings.

"Yaga," DACHA, 12th Avenue Arts,  Capitol Hill

In-over-his-head detective Rapp finds himself in an isolated, college town asking what the disappearance of a young heir to a yogurt empire has to do with a random folktale about an old witch. Matched by an apprehensive local sheriff, a university professor with a taste for younger men, and a whole cast of curious characters, the Slavic myth of Baba Yaga twists into a new labyrinth of secret lives, ancient magic, and multiple suspects in Kat Sandler’s Yaga. 

Sandler’s script is thrilling, sexy, and genre defying, and Dacha’s production, virtuosic in its theatricality, is a tour-de-force by three actors. As you enter Baba Yaga’s woods, you’ll soon realize that this is not a typical night at the theater. But then again Baba Yaga is not your typical witch. She will lure you in and keep you guessing until the bitter end. So turn your back to the woods, avoid spoilers at all costs, and keep your wits about you.
