Before he was a legend, Bruce Lee was just a young man trying to figure it all out—right here in Seattle. This action-packed, soul-searching story follows the Young Dragon as he navigates a new country and finds his voice. Through movement, magic, and heart, we meet the human behind the icon— flawed, fierce, and full of possibility. Watch as Lee learns to clear his brain by mimicking the white noise of water and begins fusing martial arts with philosophy. From street fights in Hong Kong to teaching self-defense and chasing big dreams, Bruce’s journey reminds us that finding your way means first figuring out who you are.

Emmy-nominated Brian Quijada will fill our theatre with imagination, resilience, and heart this summer. In hosting his very own TV variety show, a young man learns about the beauty and flaws of the American dream through the eyes of his Salvadoran grandmother – magically portrayed as a hand puppet. A West Coast Premiere, DC Theatre Arts hailed it as “beautiful and deeply touching.”
Originally written in 1978, Protest is a searing confrontation set in Communist Czechoslovakia, where fear and betrayal are the daily currency of life. Staněk, a privileged, regime-friendly writer, summons Vaněk, a blacklisted dissident, to plead for help—only to hesitate when his own safety is at stake. Their tense—and often wickedly funny—conversation becomes a battle for the soul, exposing the corrosive power of fear and the high cost of integrity.
