Following a sold-out world premiere run at Traverse Festival 2018 - and a follow-on tour taking it around Scotland, to Northern Ireland, and internationally to the USA and Brazil - the Traverse Theatre Company and Raw Material reunite to reveal that during August 2019, What Girls Are Made Of will return to bust out of the Traverse 1 theatre walls. With unprecedented Festival demand leaving people queuing for hours for returns, it will take to the larger space of Assembly Hall - almost four times as big - from 1-25 August. This run also marks Raw Material's return to Assembly Hall, where their 2016 presentation of Glasgow Girls (in association with Regular Music), directed by Cora Bissett, proved to be the best selling show of that year's Fringe, selling 12,600 tickets across the month.

Bizet's Carmen is often labeled as a sexy opera. The leading lady is a woman who sings unabashedly of her appetite for l'amour, cigarette smoke billowing from her lips. And the music some of the most iconic in the art form can't help but get under one's skin; it's that tuneful and seductive. This May, Seattleites will be able to experience this titillating opera for themselves through a new production of Carmen under the baton of Maestro Giacomo Sagripanti, who returns following The Barber of Seville ('17). Renowned British director Paul Curran and production designer Gary McCann will treat audiences to lavish sets and a multitude of stylish factory girls, townsfolk, smugglers, soldiers, and toreadors.

The Traverse Theatre is excited that March-June 2019 will mark a record breaking spell of touring for the company - with five homegrown full productions touring to 15 different locations, in four continents, totaling 111 individual performances over 51 days.

This year's Kids4Kids show at Ephrata Performing Arts Center is a beloved classic: Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's MARY POPPINS, JR. In 1910 England, the most essential fixture in any family's home is the nanny, but with kids like Jane and Michael, the Banks family just can't seem to keep one! That is until the practically perfect Mary Poppins drops in. She'll need more than just a "spoonful of sugar" to help this family take a dose of common sense. She'll also need a fair bit of magic and help from the loveable Bert, who is far more than just a chimney sweep.
