THE BEST DAMN THING
by Hanna Kime
directed by Kate Drummond

4/1-4/18
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! Dream, Carl, Dream takes place inside the mind of our friend Carl, who's working hard trying to do surmount life's greatest challenge: living. In this latest interactive, immersive piece from Nathan Whitehouse (creator of previous hits like Ghost Party, The Veil), you will assist the beleaguered neurons of the Dream Department in programming that night's dreams. 

The result is a life-affirming project that leaves us mining our own thoughts, habits, quirks, and dreams in hopes of a brighter tomorrow.

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... like:
