Conceived & directed by Amy Escobar 

We Go Mad examines the body as a haunted location, weaving a tale the draws from gothic romance, horror, and ghost stories to unravel inheritance, ancestral trauma, and all those shapes that shift and live on and on. Using puppetry techniques like shadow play, modified bunraku and object manipulation the playwright intends to externalize internal conflicts and articulate a felt experience as we follow our protagonist through her mother’s house of madness and her father’s house of bones.

Distillery, Macha Theatre Works' New Work Reading Series, is held 1st Mondays. The reading begins at 7:00P, followed by a discussion with the cast and playwright. This is a free event, no tickets needed.

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

Directed by Desdemona Chiang

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

In 1900 Sweden, on a magical night that smiles three times, an aging actress, a married virgin, a sex-starved divinity student, and a buffoonish count find themselves hilariously tangled in a web of love affairs. Delightful, charming and at times heartbreaking, with gorgeous, lush music, including “A Weekend in the Country,” “Liaisons” and the seminal “Send in the Clowns,” A Little Night Music is a coupling (and uncoupling) tour-de-force. Winner of four Tony Awards.

In the village of Crythin Gifford, the wind howls across the moors and fog creeps mysteriously around the town spires. At the edge of the village’s cemetery, young lawyer Arthur Kipps glimpses the figure of a woman, garbed all in black, and is drawn into Crythin’s cursed and haunted history. Susan Hill’s gothic ghost story, The Woman in Black, comes to spine-tingling life in this cunning stage adaptation that left London’s West End theatregoers enthralled.

Written & performed by Jasmine Joshua 

The autobiographical journey of a 34-year-old parent (of twins), who came out as nonbinary a year ago and is trying to figure out what the hell that even means (like, all of it).   

A little bit stand-up, a little bit a Moth story, and a little bit Great Theatre(tm), Jasmine covers everything from traversing transgender discovery to puking and peeing your pants in front of VIPs. We travel with Jasmine from the beginning — as they desperately search for clues from their past to 'prove' their trans-ness, to present day — where the only proving they do is bread dough. (Just kidding, they don't bake.)   

This is an active work-in-progress, and the evening will include a performance and a guided conversation with the audience, which Jasmine will absorb and incorporate into each next performance. This iteration of the show expands upon the version originally developed at the Seattle workshop series The Scratch last summer with director Eddie DeHais.   

Jasmine Joshua is the Founding Artistic Director of the award-winning and Gregory-nominated Reboot Theatre Company, whose mission is to test new interpretations of established works through nontraditional casting, design, and methods yet to be discovered. As an actor, they have performed roles at Book-It, Intiman, STAGEright, Theater Schmeater, Seattle Musical Theatre, Bainbridge Performing Arts, and Annex. Currently, Jasmine is writing a queer musical as a part of the The First Draft Program at The 5th Avenue Theatre, due for a professional workshop in New York this coming fall.

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

In 1900 Sweden, on a magical night that smiles three times, an aging actress, a married virgin, a sex-starved divinity student, and a buffoonish count find themselves hilariously tangled in a web of love affairs. Delightful, charming and at times heartbreaking, with gorgeous, lush music, including “A Weekend in the Country,” “Liaisons” and the seminal “Send in the Clowns,” A Little Night Music is a coupling (and uncoupling) tour-de-force.

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

A court-appointed psychiatrist and the mother superior of the convent clash during the resulting investigation.

So many questioned unanswered. So many things that cannot be explained. Was this murder or a miracle?

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to work in the video game industry? Game Development the Musical pulls back the curtain on the ups and downs of making games.

Andrew, a brand new tester, is starting his first day at Future Games, an independent game studio that makes crappy licensed shovelware games. Will Andrew ever fulfill his dream of making AAA games at Nintendo? Nerf wars and workplace eating contests are fun, but there’s always fear of crunch time, layoffs, and unemployment!

This is a staged reading. The focus of this performance will be on acting and singing. There will be very little choreography and no sets. After the show there will be an opportunity to provide feedback in a moderated Q&A.

Written & performed by Jasmine Joshua 

The autobiographical journey of a 34-year-old parent (of twins), who came out as nonbinary a year ago and is trying to figure out what the hell that even means (like, all of it).   

A little bit stand-up, a little bit a Moth story, and a little bit Great Theatre(tm), Jasmine covers everything from traversing transgender discovery to puking and peeing your pants in front of VIPs. We travel with Jasmine from the beginning — as they desperately search for clues from their past to 'prove' their trans-ness, to present day — where the only proving they do is bread dough. (Just kidding, they don't bake.)   

This is an active work-in-progress, and the evening will include a performance and a guided conversation with the audience, which Jasmine will absorb and incorporate into each next performance. This iteration of the show expands upon the version originally developed at the Seattle workshop series The Scratch last summer with director Eddie DeHais.   

Jasmine Joshua is the Founding Artistic Director of the award-winning and Gregory-nominated Reboot Theatre Company, whose mission is to test new interpretations of established works through nontraditional casting, design, and methods yet to be discovered. As an actor, they have performed roles at Book-It, Intiman, STAGEright, Theater Schmeater, Seattle Musical Theatre, Bainbridge Performing Arts, and Annex. Currently, Jasmine is writing a queer musical as a part of the The First Draft Program at The 5th Avenue Theatre, due for a professional workshop in New York this coming fall.

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art.

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

Written & performed by Jasmine Joshua 

The autobiographical journey of a 34-year-old parent (of twins), who came out as nonbinary a year ago and is trying to figure out what the hell that even means (like, all of it).   

A little bit stand-up, a little bit a Moth story, and a little bit Great Theatre(tm), Jasmine covers everything from traversing transgender discovery to puking and peeing your pants in front of VIPs. We travel with Jasmine from the beginning — as they desperately search for clues from their past to 'prove' their trans-ness, to present day — where the only proving they do is bread dough. (Just kidding, they don't bake.)   

This is an active work-in-progress, and the evening will include a performance and a guided conversation with the audience, which Jasmine will absorb and incorporate into each next performance. This iteration of the show expands upon the version originally developed at the Seattle workshop series The Scratch last summer with director Eddie DeHais.   

Jasmine Joshua is the Founding Artistic Director of the award-winning and Gregory-nominated Reboot Theatre Company, whose mission is to test new interpretations of established works through nontraditional casting, design, and methods yet to be discovered. As an actor, they have performed roles at Book-It, Intiman, STAGEright, Theater Schmeater, Seattle Musical Theatre, Bainbridge Performing Arts, and Annex. Currently, Jasmine is writing a queer musical as a part of the The First Draft Program at The 5th Avenue Theatre, due for a professional workshop in New York this coming fall.

MARTI is trapped in an Off-Off-Broadway theater and is certain that solving the equation for predicting prime numbers is the key to his freedom. That, and to understanding random events. All random events. Unfortunately, solving this equation requires help from his like-minded companions—an agoraphobic theater tech and a secluded mathematician—both of whom are in danger of succumbing to the most random event of all: falling in love.

Inspired by true events, Trevor is a MAP-flavored tragicomedy about fame, success, and the lies we tell ourselves. At the center of this world are two individuals fighting against a world unable to understand their love: Trevor, an almost-famous chimpanzee, and his owner & 'mom' Sandra. Sandra knows Trevor would never hurt a fly ... not on purpose, anyway. A moving exploration of family, flawed communication, and humanity.

An art gallery hosts a retrospective of the work of a legendary Chinese dissident artist who was imprisoned in a Chinese detention center for a single work of art. Recently profiled in the New Yorker, the artist himself is present, and shares with patrons the details of an ordeal that defies belief. A labyrinthine exploration of truth, art, social justice, and cultural appropriation, where nothing is as it first appears.

This irreverent new genre-bending work invites you to navigate a shape-shifting trail between truth and perception, authority and authenticity, illusionary art and real jeopardy.

In 1900 Sweden, on a magical night that smiles three times, an aging actress, a married virgin, a sex-starved divinity student, and a buffoonish count find themselves hilariously tangled in a web of love affairs. Delightful, charming and at times heartbreaking, with gorgeous, lush music, including “A Weekend in the Country,” “Liaisons” and the seminal “Send in the Clowns,” A Little Night Music is a coupling (and uncoupling) tour-de-force. Winner of four Tony Awards.

Directed by Erin Murray

At a weekend bed & breakfast, the shadow of infidelity hangs over a young couple struggling to rebuild their relationship – when the elderly owner shares her own memories, ghosts real and imagined arrive to haunt the living. Blending keen realism with the eerily supernatural, this quiet tale from a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright is unafraid to seek beauty in one of the most startling places: the solitude of human experience.
