NakedBack
July 19th-26th, 2024
Playwright Sam Hackman - charged with writing a new 10-minute play due promptly at 8 o'clock the next morning - finds himself at 2am having written absolutely nothing. In desperation, he drains an entire handle of Canadian whiskey.
It's not the preferred summoning method, but the Green Fairy comes anyway - in the form of Nickelback frontman, Chad Kroeger.
Unfolding lyrically through the band's most powerful hits, Nakedback is the unflinching portrayal of two great artists authentically struggling to reconcile their contrasting visions, amidst a world fighting for relevant truth.
It's a Burlesque show that challenges the viewer: "Is this how we remind ourselves of who we really are?"

Crash Course
August 9th, 20204 at 7: 30 PM
Crash Course: where smart meets funny is Seattle’s first night-class/comedy-game show mashup that brings in brilliant Seattleites to share their ideas and expertise. Hosted by comedian Marcus Van Valen and scientist Caroline Duncombe, this interactive experience presents informative, wacky, and inspiring topics across all disciplines. After a night of intellectual shenanigans, one burning question will remain: Are you smarter than a comedian?

Queer Joy Cabaret
Streaming Available Until July 20th, 2024
Queer Joy Cabaret is a revue show that is first and foremost a celebration of queer performance and queer performers. We asked participating artists to answer the question "what does queer joy mean to you?" The performances you will see as part of Queer Joy Cabaret are their answer.
Since our first virtual performance in 2021, Rainy Day Artistic Collective has been a "hybrid" theatre company - meaning we perform shows both completely in person and completely online. In everything we do, we strive to uphold our company motto, "make the theater you wish to see," and push ourselves to innovate, experiment, and reach new artists and audiences with each of our productions. Due in part to our unique model, our greater community has included artists from all US time-zones (and at least five countries), and we are incredibly excited about continuing to participate in both the local and global voices of theater as we expand and grow.
