History
Founded by Pavlina Morris as a springboard from the company’s namesake in Denver, The Changing Scene Theatre Northwest first produced in October 2002. The Changing Scene truly began living up to its name and became a nomadic theatrical company following the loss of their space in 2009, performing as guests at the Bremerton Eagles; renting space for a show at Bremerton Community Theatre; and performing in a distillery and during annual festivals and events all around Kitsap.
The Changing Scene now performs most frequently at the Dukesbay Theater in Tacoma, and has also performed in other venues in Tacoma, Centralia, and Seattle.
Recent and upcoming shows include:
Bent
Twelfth Night
Sublime Ridiculous
Summerplay (annual series), September 6-21, 2019
Statement of financial accessibility
The Changing Scene holds pay-what-you-can performances from time to time, and makes accommodations whenever possible. It does not want anyone to miss a show because they cannot afford admission.
