Where Worlds Meet on Stage
Global voices spark the start of Puget Sound’s performance season. Plus, check out a vibrant musical for families at Seattle Children’s Theatre and a streaming documentary from Seattle Men’s Chorus.
Seattle’s stages this fall are offering more than just entertainment. They are acting as portals to enrichment and connection in a politically charged time, offering an array of stories, songs, and culturally broad performances that have the power to heal by bolstering the bonds of our collective humanity.
Indigenous and international artists stand at the center of this vibrant convergence: Fancy Dancer, an autobiographical play by Native American playwright Larissa FastHorse, produced jointly by Seattle Rep and Seattle Children’s Theatre; a rare Puget Sound appearance by Rapa Nui (Easter Island) classical pianist Mahani Teave at Meany Center; and a high-energy concert from Mariachi Herencia de México, an ensemble that fuses old world Mexican tradition with generational innovation in a bold shared celebration.
Larissa FastHorse, a Sicangu Lakota playwright and MacArthur Fellow, has made history as the first Native American woman to have a play produced on Broadway.
