2023 Mainstage SeasonWe launched an ambitious 2023 season with three mainstage productions. This was a large undertaking to build up audiences after the COVID-19 shutdown, and fulfilled our goal of shifting towards new play development, world premieres and Seattle premiere. This included 11th and Pine, by Nikki Yeboah, a world premiere documentary theatre piece based on interviews from local citizens with different perspectives who participated in Seattles Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP) in 2021. Our other world premiere mainstage production was a Deaf centered comedy thriller by Deaf Taiwanese-American playwright Aimee Chou titled Autocorrect Thinks Im Dead. This Mainstage season also included the Seattle premiere of the Pulitzer prize winning play Cost of Living, with authentic casting and representation
