Nearly Washington by J. Chavez

Good Kids

Directed by Shea King
A completely original, totally unique, and never been done before play that takes place in a fictional town. Welcome to Nearly, Washington, a town somewhere north of Vancouver and south of Vancouver. At golden hour on a Thursday night in spring turned summer, we explore the complex relationships of the people who make up Nearly. Nearly, Washington is a series of plays written about the lives of those who populate our little suburb. With bears, puppets, demons, and bee costumes, Nearly, Washington is a play about where we find ourselves in the middle of it all.

The Dimmest Stage Light by Kaytlin Hawkins

Student-written staged reading
While waiting for her fiancé to return home from World War 2, actress and playwright Wilma Robinson attempts to get her musical to the theatres of Broadway. With the lingering presence of her neighbor Jack Earnest, Wilma spends December of 1945 facing the harsh realities and practices of the entertainment industry that were once normalized.

Content warning: The Dimmest Stage Light was written with the idea of feminism in history and theatre in mind. The Dimmest Stage Light has topics that may be sensitive to others. These topics include racial discrimination (more specifically discrimination on ethnicity, immigration, and U.S. citizenship status); sexual assault and sexual harassment; and female discrimination.
