The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse

This comic satire is currently running on Broadway and our production would be the first time any non-indigenous Whatcom County theatre has produced a play written by an indigenous author.  The story revolves around four woke white individuals who attempt to create a politically correct First Thanksgiving play for Native American Heritage Month to be performed in schools. 

The Mountaintop by Katori Hall

Katori Hall was the first black woman in history to win the Olivier Award for Best New Play for this fictional depiction of Martin Luther King Jr’s last night on earth set entirely in Room 306 of the Lorriane Hotel on the eve of his assassination in 1968.  

To Kill a Mockingbird  adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel

This Pulitzer Prize winning classic by Harper Lee tells the story of a small-town local lawyer Atticus who defends a young black man in a trial that sends violent waves through the community. Timeless and lingering, this hard-hitting work explores prejudice, compassion and the courage to do what is right.

THE FLICK

Winner of the 2013 Obie Award for Playwriting and the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

Rated the 3rd Best Play in the last 25 years by
the New York Times Critics in 2018

A comedy of the mundane, The Flick takes place in a Worchester County, Pennsylvania movie theater where the employees tend to one of the last 35 mm projectors in the state. The play follows the three employees in their struggle to clean the theater, make a living and to define their lives, identities and values.

" the tenderest drama—funny, heartbreaking, sly, and unblinking—now playing at a theater near you."
