Nesholm Family Foundation

Mark Boeker, Seattle, WA

Tickets $15/$12: March 20, 21, 23, 24* 7:30 PM

Hell Songs From The Floating World is an apocalyptic, existential death-mask comedy. Inspired by performing an original piece called "Sensitive Zombie" to an incredible response, the full-length show features an underground survivor of an alien invasion, a corpse awaiting judgment, a waiter in the underworld, an inspirational ghost, a volunteer greeter in the afterlife, and a painful "morning after" tale. By throwing these poor souls in "end-times" scenarios, the results are both sad and funny, macabre and poignant.

*Ticket purchase to 3/24 show includes admission to closing night party.

Curtains For Mr. Mortimer is a dark comedy about an ambitious thespian in search of the grand finale.

Charles Leggett, Seattle, WA

Tickets $15/$12: March 13, 17, 22, 23 7:30 PM

THE RIVER'S INVITATION contains two treatments of civic discourse as
pursued through letter writing. Twice is a “Letter to the Editor”
pondering a brief, disturbing “filler” article about a badly (and
doubly) botched suicide attempt. Trials and Tributaries presents the
snail-mail missives between a whitewater river rafter and a Forest
Service official concerning alleged “camping violations,” and
features the epistolary authorial genius of Northern California teaching
and rafting legend Steven W. Howell.

Giant Invisible Robot
Russel is quite a reserved man—introspective, unobtrusive and painfully shy. As a child he had one true—albeit invisible—friend. But Russel’s friend was a little different from other kids’ imaginary playmates…he was a Giant Invisible Robot programmed to destroy. And, unlike other kids who grow up and abandon their imaginary friends, Russel has managed to maintain his friendship with Robot over the years, forming an indivisible bond…even though Russel is continuously frustrated by Robot’s need to destroy whole cities and Robot must constantly suppress his programming to avoid crushing Russel like an ant.

Keira McDonald, Seattle, WA

Tickets $15/$12: March 9*, 10, 13, 14 7:30 PM

The Bridesmaid brings you to ground zero in the business of love. Ceremony after ceremony, dress upon hideous dress, we follow a woman named Hope as she searches for something real to hang on to as she stands up with her friends in love. What Sex and the City wouldn’t dare show you -- 13 weddings, 10 years, mean Christians, bad hair, horny groomsmen, silver plated asparagus tongs, and a black-eye. Video by SJ Chiro.

*Ticket purchase to 3/9 show includes admission to opening night gala.

Judy Blume Owes Me/ When Boobs are the Center of Your Universe.
Is it possible for an 11-year-old girl to be more obsessed with breasts than society is? Did “Are You There God, It’s Me, Margaret” speak for an entire generation? This hilarious and often touching tale of growing up as seen through the herstory of a developing bosom allows for bawdy physical antics and delicate emotional portrayals, capturing eighties adolescence with pitch perfect verve.

Jonah Von Spreecken, Seattle, WA

Tickets $15/$12: March 9*, 12, 16, 17 7:30 PM

Gloomology
Your substitute schoolmaster for the quarter will be Mr. Slurch. Do not be alarmed by his dark clothes, his gaunt cheeks, his spindly limbs, the sinister gleam in his eye - he has your best interests in his cold, quivering heart. His lessons will awaken your foolish, frivolous minds to the essential truths of our dark, miserable lives. A comedy.

*Ticket purchase to 3/9 show includes admission to opening night gala.
