All three tours run from July 12 – August 17, and rehearsals start in June

** Actors of all ethnicities, genders, ages, and body types/sizes are encouraged to audition. **

** Stage combat training and/or experience a plus. **

Our productions are largely ensemble based, with some actors taking on multiple roles. We are interested in seeing actors who have experience in outdoor theater, but all actors are welcome.

At this point, all roles are open.

Each of our productions tours to approximately twelve outdoor park locations in and around Seattle.

Sunday, March 24 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm
