Beloved Seattle playwright Katie Forgette returns to ACT with this world premiere first featured at ACT’s inaugural New Works Northwest Festival. This delightful backstage comedy unfolds on the opening night of the Teacup Theatre’s production of Death of a Salesman where two actors, returning after years away, find themselves grappling with more than just their roles. The stage becomes a platform for dramatic antics and witty repartee as the characters confront uncomfortable truths about identity, representation, and the stories theatres choose to tell — blurring the lines between reality and mania in this hilarious yet thought-provoking exploration of the human experience.

Imagine: You’ve been married for 5,000 years, raised a couple of kids, and survived multiple catastrophic disasters. But with the world constantly teetering on the edge of collapse, would you have the strength to save the human race, over and over again? Join the Antrobus family on a time-bending romp from the age of the dinosaurs, to our 21st century election year, to what might just be the end of the world as we know it.
The production incorporates a “past, present, and future” approach to Wilder’s three-act cyclical structure, and pushes the play’s “fourth wall”-breaking meta-theatricality further. Act One is set in 1963, the year Seattle Rep was founded. Act Two is set in the summer of 2024, and Act Three in a not-too-distant future (amid special circumstances).
Featuring an epic-sized cast and dozens of community guest stars, Thornton Wilder’s action-packed comedy is a love letter to human endurance.

From the team that brought us Dog Man: The Musical comes the much-awaited sequel, Cat Kid Comic Club. Based on the wildly popular series by Dav Pilkey (Dog Man, Captain Underpants) this fast moving, colorful and kinetic play will entertain the whole family.
Cat Kid and Molly Pollywog have started an epic club to teach 21 rambunctious baby frogs how to make their own comics. Their fishy father Flippy is overjoyed that his kids will learn to unleash their creativity, but when the frogs’ constant bickering and outrageous imaginations send their comics comically off the rails, Flippy flips out. Will the club survive? Will the frogs ever get along? And will creativity finally save the day? All will be answered in this madcap musical based on the irreverently hilarious book series.
Book and Lyrics by Kevin Del Aguila; music by Brad Alexander. A TheaterWorksUSA Production; directed and choreographed by Marlo Hunter.

The Broadway sensation Wicked looks at what happened in the Land of Oz from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald green skin, who’s smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships — until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, Wicked — the untold story of the Witches of Oz — transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story.
