The award-winning Reboot Theatre Company, in association with Theatre Off Jackson, presents the high-octane rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR this fall.

Now celebrating their 50th Anniversary Season, Fort Salem Theater will kick off their 2022 mainstage programming on March 11 (running through March 20) with Little Shop of Horrors, the musical comedy featuring everybody’s favorite flesh-eating plant. Tickets are on sale now, starting at only $15.

Breaking news! Fort Salem Theater has just made two exciting announcements: an intimate Valentine's Day-weekend cabaret concert has been added to the 50th Anniversary Season lineup, plus casting details for their upcoming production of Little Shop of Horrors!

76 trombones will no longer be marching down the Fort Salem Theater aisles this season, as the Omicron numbers rise in Washington County. In place of the theater’s large-cast production of The Music Man, a more intimate, 10-actor musical comedy featuring a flesh-eating plant, Little Shop of Horrors, will now take the stage from March 11-20.

With two blockbuster musicals, two familiar-and-favorite plays, one world-premier reading of a new musical, and three game-changing contemporary musicals, Fort Salem Theater has something for everyone in their 50th Anniversary Season, just announced for March-November 2022.

Continuing its 5th-ish anniversary season, Transforming Theatre Together, the award-winning Reboot Theatre Company announces the upcoming themes for its monthly web series Reboot rePresents.

Triple Threats and Beyond: A Podcast Masterclass will be hosting a live viewing party on their youtube channel of the first ever 13 The Musical Cast and Crew Reunion.

Reboot Theatre Company in association with local casting directors from Village, 5th Avenue, ACT, and Seattle Rep is hosting two free audition workshop opportunities for for trans, gender non-conforming and nonbinary (TGNCNB) performers to present and receive feedback and support on audition material.

These one hour, family friendly, plays and musicals are perfect for school aged children. It is with great pleasure that we announce SecondStory Rep's Season 21 TYA Series!

Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd now through June 1 at Reboot Theatre Company.

For its fifth production, Reboot is cooking up Sondheim's masterpiece SWEENEY TODD, THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler. Check out photos of the production!

Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is arguably a masterpiece of American Musical Theatre. It's haunting, thrilling, and heartbreaking when it's done right. But in order to do it right you need to understand and be able to convey this complex story and characters as well as sing some quite difficult music. Unfortunately, the current gender bent production from Reboot Theatre Company chose to forsake that story for comedy and sight gags leaving a confused, under baked, sloppy mess.

Dear Readers, it has been one crazy year with some amazing theater. You know it's true. We've had dead teens riding a roller coaster, demonic puppets, and an ageless guy with a picture of himself in his attic. And, of course, a hip-hop founding father sweeping through town. But let's not talk about the juggernaut when we have such amazing things right here that blew us all away. At least they blew me away. So, let's talk about what blew me away this past year and what I have chosen to give my BWW 2018 Seattle Critic's Choice Awards (Jay's Picks) to (not to mention all those honorable mentions since often I can't limit myself to just one).

Twelfth Night Productions is proud to present ONCE ON THIS ISLAND THE MUSICAL, directed by Harry Turpin with Faith Bennett Russell serving as Artistic and Cultural Adviser.
