Alone on Thanksgiving in 1973 while their husbands work long hours, young immigrants
Luna and Jane meet as strangers over the frozen turkeys at the grocery store and
decide to celebrate this unfamiliar holiday together. As they bond over their new lives in
America and their longing for faraway family in Korea and the Philippines, they discover
a kinship that overcomes any language barrier. In its Seattle debut, Lloyd Suh’s
intimate, charming, and heartfelt new play explores what it means to find connection
and friendship across cultures.

Tectonic Theater Project’s Here There Are Blueberries

January 21 – February 15, 2026
In 2007, a mysterious album featuring Nazi-era
photographs arrived at the desk of a U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Museum archivist. As curators unravel the
shocking truth behind the images, the album soon makes
headlines and ignites a debate that reverberates far beyond the museum walls. Based
on real events, Here There Are Blueberries tells the story of these historical
photographs—what they reveal about the perpetrators of the Holocaust, and our own
humanity.

Here There Are Blueberries was a 2024 Pulitzer Prize finalist, five-time Lucille Lortel Award nominee, and two-time Helen Hayes Award winner.

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.
