Building on success. Vashon Repertory Theatre opened its first season in 2020 with three COVID-safe productions broadcast from the stage at Vashon Center for the Arts: HOME (an anthology of six original radio plays), War of the Words (an authentic replay of the original Mercury Theatre production), and Sam Shepard and Joseph Chaikin’s Savage Love. Each production featured local professional actors and set Vashon Repertory Theatre’s reputation for quality.

By the time we presented the first-annual Vashon Theatre Fest in July 2021, expectations were high. We exceeded even our own expectations by producing four plays—The Tempest, Woody Guthrie’s American Song, Bo-Nita and Fail Better: Beckett Moves UMO—and staging readings of six new plays by local playwrights. We performed in four different Island venues: Ober Park, Open Space for Arts & Community, Snapdragon Café, and Vashon Center for the Arts. Nearly 2,000 theatre-lovers attended the festival. And our ticket sales topped $29,000.

We’re ready to do it again. The 2021–2022 Season is already underway. Vashon Repertory Theatre introduced the Incubator Playreading Series of new plays in December with Kat Eggleston’s one-act Droeilín. New playreadings will continue every third Monday through May at Vashon Center for the Arts, with a Pay-What-You-Will admission and post-reading talkbacks for audience feedback.

In February, Vashon Repertory Theatre will produce The Exonerated; a co-production with Vashon SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice). The Exonerated tells the stories of six people sent to death row for crimes they did not commit. In May, Vashon Repertory Theatre will stage its first outdoor performance for 2022. Mik Kuhlman’s The Standing Nation, written with Tess Clark, is a site-specific solo show exploring the language of trees, their role in the survival of our planet, and what they can teach us.

Plans are already underway for the second-annual Vashon Theatre Fest from July 21–31, 2022. We are delighted to ride this wave of success and bring theatrical tourism to our Island economy.
