I will miss you when you’re gone
3/5-21/26 (at Theatre Off Jackson)
Shattered Glass Project, https://www.shatteredglassproject.org
I Love You, I Miss You. I’m Glad
You’re Gone.

Key City Public Theatre, www.keycitypublictheatre.org
The Foreigner
3/6-29/26
Harlequin Productions, www.harlequinproductions.org
When a painfully shy Englishman lands at a rustic Georgia lodge, his fear of small talk inspires a harmless fib: he doesn’t speak English! But as locals pour out secrets, Charlie becomes the perfect confidant—and whispers of a secret society stir old resentments beneath the lodge’s pastoral calm. As laughter turns to high stakes, Charlie must summon unexpected courage—and maybe foil a sinister plot.
Bunny
3/12-21/26 (at Jones Playhouse)
UW School of Drama, www.drama.uw.edu
For most of Sorrel’s high school career, she was friendless and quietly weird. She didn’t even seem to fit in with the geeky kids. When she turned seventeen, and late puberty produced a supermodel physique, she became seen as a “hot dork”. Bunny spans twenty years of Sorrel’s life. Unencumbered by the burden of shame, she journeys through the complex social expectations surrounding female sexuality.
Boobs (Let's Talk)
3/15-17/26 (at SOAP, 1406 18th Ave)

A bold and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most enduring topics across cultures and history—breasts—and their influence on us all. In the same spirit of The Vagina Monologues, individual stories are at the heart of the piece.

Mary Jane

Seattle Rep, www.seattlerep.org
Mary Jane is a cheerful caregiver and unflagging advocate for her toddler, Alex, who lives with cerebral palsy and chronic illness—but the American healthcare system can wear anybody down, especially a single parent. While navigating her son’s health challenges, Mary Jane meets and builds community with women from all walks of life, experiencing joy and connection amidst the distress and heartbreak. Poignantly humorous and deeply cathartic, this semi-autobiographical drama by Tony-nominated playwright Amy Herzog is a love letter to caregivers and support systems of all kinds. (Recommended for ages 14+.)
