About Us

Dacha is a Seattle-based theater company founded in 2016 that specializes in devised, immersive, and playful work.

At Dacha, we believe everyone has a story worth telling, and we strive to tell our stories with whomever we can. 
That is why our shows and events are always ticketed on a sliding scale, and always have a pay-what-you-can option.
Even our subscriptions are pay-what-you-can! Our mission is to build community, and invite you into our Dacha.
Devised: 
We build our shows with the unique contributions of everyone in the room; we reimagine existing systems and old narratives, in both the stories we tell and the ways we tell them.
Immersive: 
​Our audiences are at the heart of our events, exploring the new worlds we create and building meaningful connections with each other from a place of community and joy.
Playful: 
We believe that tomorrow could be the best day yet. The worlds we create are full of hope, connection, and empathy. We use laughter as a way to open up to big, maybe scary new ideas.

What is a Dacha? 

Dacha is a Russian word that doesn’t have an English equivalent. Roughly, it means “cottage” — a country cabin, a retreat from the hum and bustle of everyday life. But a dacha is also a frame of mind. It is a time apart, a world in miniature with its own rules, customs, and rituals. A dacha is a place to reconnect and restore our faith in each other, where the generations mingle and help each other grow older.

​
A dacha marks the passage of time. It is a place, but also an experience of place, the combination of roofbeams, and gables, and casseroles, and cigarettes, and late-night conversation, and sun, and swimming, and most importantly, memories.

Although the word "dacha" can’t be translated, the feeling of it can. Our dacha is a place of ordered chaos, of rumpus, of play. We think that art tends to turn out better when everyone's voice is heard, and we find the stories that most need to be told include ​a little bit of mirth, a little bit of sadness, and a little bit of whimsy.

Dacha was founded in 2016, following a backyard production of Dream Things True. Our shows range from world premieres of daring new works, to innovative ways to bring classics back to life (like our Dice format), to original and spectacular immersive events that challenge the boundaries of what audiences can do.
