Every Brilliant Thing @ ACT Theatre (Seattle – Downtown)
Apr 1 @ 2:00 pm

The color yellow. Sunsets. Things with stripes. Wearing a cape. Ice cream! There are a million brilliant things. Can you name them all?

The hit play and international sensation Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe is a one-of-a-kind storytelling experience blending comedy, improv, and audience interaction to tell the story of an adult growing up in the shadow of mental illness and learning to grapple with their own experiences of love, loss, and a finding a new way forward, one brilliant thing at a time.

Previews 3/17-22, opens 3/23

Limited number of PWYC tickets offered for each performance. $20 rush (if tickets remain) available for all performances. See info here.

 

110 in the Shade – Reboot Theatre @ Seattle Public Theater (Seattle – Green Lake)
Apr 1 @ 7:30 pm

Reboot Theatre Company, known for its intriguing deep dives and fresh interpretations of theater, brings to life 110 in the Shade, a beautiful exploration of love, hope, and acceptance. From the creators of The Fantasticks, 110 in the Shade is a touching and intimate musical adaptation of the hit play The Rainmaker. Set in a small western town besieged by drought, Lizzie, intelligent and independent, struggles with the societal pressure to do as a “woman” should do. One blistering hot day, Lizzie’s family urges her to marry the recently widowed Sheriff File, while charismatic stranger Starbuck comes to town with promises of being able to make it rain. Immediately suspicious, Lizzie tries to pick apart Starbuck’s story, but realizes a deeper truth about herself along the way. While the source material was written in the 1950’s, director Scot Charles Anderson will take a closer look at the seemingly simplified gender roles in classic Reboot style.

Tickets $5-$50 (sliding scale available for all) here.

 

Dacha Theatre: Dice Keeper – Twelfth Night @ Base (Seattle – Georgetown)
Apr 1 @ 7:30 pm

Viola washes up on the shores of the bewildering land of Illyria after losing her twin brother in a shipwreck. But what is Illyria exactly? In Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night’s 18-show run, no two Illyrias are the same — and no two Violas for that matter.

Dacha returns with the next iteration of our most audacious original format: Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night. In the Dice series, a small ensemble of actors memorizes the entire script of a Shakespeare show and the roles are randomized at the start of each performance. This year, we’ve added a brand new wrinkle – the Dice Keeper. The Dice Keeper changes the directorial concept for each performance with no warning to the cast. Has he set the show in the Wild West or has he replaced all the costumes with hospital scrubs?

Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night is a playful send-up of directors with over-imaginative interpretations of Shakespeare, and a love letter to all the actors, designers and audiences who have endured their whims. Most importantly, with each new concept the Dice Keeper is convinced that this is the best way to tell the story of Twelfth Night, and who knows, by the end of the show you may just agree with him. Directed by Mike Lion.

Behind the Curtain – Titanic: The Musical @ Tacoma Musical Playhouse (Tacoma)
Apr 8 @ 7:00 pm

Go Behind the Curtain for a sneak peek of an entertaining informative and free preview presentation prior to each of the six TMP Mainstage productions! Get a behind-the-scenes look at how our costumes, makeup, set, music and rehearsal hours all come together to make up one of our TMP Mainstage productions. Hosted by TMP’s Managing Artistic Director Jon Douglas Rake and cast members.

This is a preview event, not the show itself. Free; see info here.

 

About the show: The musical play Titanic examines the causes, the conditions and the characters involved in this ever-fascinating drama. This is the factual story of that ship — of her officers, crew and passengers, to be sure — but she will not, as has happened so many times before, serve as merely the background against which fictional, melodramatic narratives are recounted. The central character of our Titanic is the Titanic herself. Winner of five 1997 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Book and Score. Story and book by Peter Stone, music and lyrics by Maury Yeston.

Apr 8 @ 7:30 pm

The renowned comic actor and author of Picasso at the Lapine Agile provides a wild satire adapted from the classic German play about Louise and Theo Markes, a couple whose conservative existence is shattered when Louise’s bloomers fall down in public. Though she pulls them up quickly, he thinks the incident will cost him his job as a government clerk. Louise’s momentary display does not result in the feared scandal but it does attract two infatuated men, each of whom wants to rent the spare room in the Markes’ home. Oblivious of their amorous objectives, Theo splits the room between them, happy to collect rent from both the foppish poet and the whiny hypochondriac. Written by Carl Sternheim and Steve Martin, directed by Melissa Carter.

Dacha Theatre: Dice Keeper – Twelfth Night @ Base (Seattle – Georgetown)
Apr 15 @ 2:00 pm

Viola washes up on the shores of the bewildering land of Illyria after losing her twin brother in a shipwreck. But what is Illyria exactly? In Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night’s 18-show run, no two Illyrias are the same — and no two Violas for that matter.

Dacha returns with the next iteration of our most audacious original format: Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night. In the Dice series, a small ensemble of actors memorizes the entire script of a Shakespeare show and the roles are randomized at the start of each performance. This year, we’ve added a brand new wrinkle – the Dice Keeper. The Dice Keeper changes the directorial concept for each performance with no warning to the cast. Has he set the show in the Wild West or has he replaced all the costumes with hospital scrubs?

Dice Keeper: Twelfth Night is a playful send-up of directors with over-imaginative interpretations of Shakespeare, and a love letter to all the actors, designers and audiences who have endured their whims. Most importantly, with each new concept the Dice Keeper is convinced that this is the best way to tell the story of Twelfth Night, and who knows, by the end of the show you may just agree with him.

How to Break @ Village Theatre (Issaquah) (PWYC)
Apr 19 @ 7:30 pm

An electrifyingly innovative world-debut Mainstage production of new work developed by Village Theatre! Featuring a dynamic kaleidoscope of music, poetry, breakdancing, and beatboxing, How To Break follows two hospitalized teenage hip-hop dancers and how they navigate their adolescence in the confines of a hospital room, finding ways to love and learn amidst IV bags and chemotherapy as inspired by real-life events in writer Aaron Jafferis’ time as an artist in residence at a children’s hospital. Part commentary on the American health care system, part moving autobiography, and part profound journey through the joy and pain of growing up, How To Break reveals just how resilient the human spirit is in the face of change and transformation.

Senior Theatre Festival: Crave @ University of Puget Sound (Tacoma)
Apr 21 @ 7:30 pm

Crave by Sarah Kane is a poetic exploration into the intersection of trauma and love. Rather than following named characters or even a linear plot, Crave features four fragmented characters that represent equal parts of a whole human psyche. We watch as the characters hauntingly retell their stories to one another, while also desperately and hopelessly attempting to communicate their love with words we can understand. This avant-garde piece is thematic of what it means to love after a life of trauma.

Excerpts from plays selected, directed and performed by students

The Squirrel Plays – Mirror Stage Theatre @ 12th Avenue Arts (Seattle – Capitol Hill)
Apr 27 @ 7:30 pm

A dark comedy about choice(s) and consequences, The Squirrel Plays is a cycle of three short plays: Infestation, Compensation, and Eradication.

Tom and Sarah finally find the suburban house of their dreams with probably the nicest garden on the market. Everything is blissful, until an unwanted squirrel gets trapped in the attic, interrupting their lives and causing a rift in their marriage. Once an exterminator, the neighborhood association, and animal control all get involved, violence and turmoil unsettle the entire subdivision.

Mirror Stage is thrilled to present the U.S. premiere of The Squirrel Plays — our first fully-staged production in more than 10 years. Written by Mia McCullough, directed by Suzanne M. Cohen, The Squirrel Plays features Kiki Abba, Angie Bolton, Caitlin Frances Branston, Emily Hoffman, and Serin Ngai.

A dark comedy about choice(s) and consequences, The Squirrel Plays is a cycle of three short plays: Infestation, Compensation, and Eradication.
