Dacha Theatre-Outdoor Children’s shows
This summer, Dacha will be producing two outdoor touring summer show, Star Play and Dears in the Headlights
Shows will be in-person with the latest WA Covid-19 safety guidelines for theaters.
STAR PLAY
***
A wondrous, galaxy-sized adventure for all ages, STAR PLAY is a storybook romp through the night sky that follows Pleione, the seventh brightest Pleiades sister, as she charts a course through the Milky Way to save the red giant Betelgeuse from going supernova. A Dacha original, this clear-eyed and starry-skied play with music embraces the singular magic of space and the power of storytelling—all while connecting the dots on your favorite constellations (and some you probably haven’t heard of yet, as well).
Sparkling brightly for audience members aged 1 to 100 light-years old, STAR PLAY will be visible to stargazers and theatre lovers from parks all over Seattle starting July 23.
Bring your own chair, blanket, or soft cushion to sit on, and bring the whole family for this 90-minute play! STAR PLAY is Theatre for Young Audiences, and it’s safe for adults as well.
DEARS IN THE HEADLIGHTS
Dacha’s summertime spectacular, DEARS IN HEADLIGHTS, invites audiences back to the drive-in theatre for an evening of movie magic—only this time, with a troupe of live actors instead of a silver screen. Accompanied by an FM radio soundtrack, this fully devised and larger-than-life love letter to classic cinema combines pastiche, clowning, vignettes, and physical theatre to create a playful immersive experience for viewers with and without cars. Whether you’d rather scare yourself silly with a horror movie or laugh along to a rom-com, you’ll be delighted by this original new take on a beloved summer pastime.
Intended for audiences aged 10+, DEARS IN HEADLIGHTS asks you to keep your arms, legs, and laughter inside the vehicle at all times. Drive-ins and walk-ups welcome starting July 30.
Bring your own chair, blanket, or vehicle!
Just like a drive-in this play can be watched from camp chairs/ picnic blankets or from inside your. Car seats will offer an extra bit of immersion – we’ll bring the action right to your windshield.
