THE BEST DAMN THING
script and lyrics by Hanna Kime
music and addtnl lyrics by Sara Geist
directed by Kate Drummond

4/2-4/18
12th Avenue Arts: Studio

It's the summer of 2011, and Ellie has written what just might be the best jukebox musical ever conceived, inspired by the early discography of Avril Lavigne. She’s ready to share it with the world, starting with her much cooler ex-best friend and theatre teacher's favorite Rachel, who she thinks can help her pitch it for their school’s spring musical. 
Over the course of one evening of workshopping, the two girls rekindle their friendship and reopen old wounds. ​The Best Damn Thing is a boldly theatrical exploration of young women’s genius and power in the face of a world that refuses to take them seriously.

DREAM, CARL, DREAM
conceived and created by Nathan Whitehouse
​directed by Gavin Reub

6/4-6/27
12th Avenue Arts: Mainstage

Carl needs your help! In Dream, Carl, Dream!, audience members will step quite literally into the theatre of the mind in order to help the beleaguered neurons of the Dream Department salvage their terrible ratings and produce the kind of dreams that regular human Carl will actually remember when they wake up.
​
Don't miss the latest immersive spectacle from Nathan Whitehouse (creator of Ghost Party, The Veil). In Dream, Carl, Dream! audience members craft unique dreams during the day and sit back to watch them all play out during the night. Ultimately, they'll find that dreams may just be the last, best place for Carl to get in touch with their true self.

SHAKESPEARE DICE:
AS YOU LIKE IT
directed by Nick O'Leary

August 2026
at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival
(with a Seattle sneak preview in July!) 

In this immersive karaoke bar experience, all bets are off once our heroes reach the Forest of Arden: the scenes will be re-shuffled into a random order each night, and the audience will be thrown into the heart of the action of our topsy-turvy remix. 

As we take the international stage for the first time, Dacha revisits the third iteration of its most audacious format. In Dice, a small company of actors memorizes the entirety of a classic text. Each show, the audience rolls dice to determine who plays who, and the chaos begins!
PLUS, plenty of pop-up performances and opportunities to get involved...
