When a 10-year-old boy named Xavier has to go live with his uncle, it isn’t easy. His uncle John John has just left the Marines after eight years of service, and both must navigate family issues and strong emotions—both within themselves and with each other.

But something happens when they hear about the most famous Comic Con in the world. Xavier and John John discover a mutual love of superheroes and decide to take the trip, donning their own costumes. Can a superhero outfit help them find their own superpowers? Can they learn to trust one another and triumph over a world of obstacles and uncertainty? Can cosplay help them find their real selves? Join Seattle Children’s Theatre for this exciting and heartfelt world premiere work.

I'll Be Your Superhero

Seattle Center

Join us at the Seattle Rep for a theatrical journey like no other with "The Skin of our Teeth"! This action-packed comedy by Thornton Wilder takes you on a time-bending adventure with the Antrobus family, who have been married for 5,000 years, raised kids, and survived multiple catastrophic disasters. As the world teeters on the brink of collapse, this family's endless struggle to save humanity unfolds from the age of dinosaurs, through our 21st-century election year, to the potential end of the world as we know it.

Featuring an epic-sized cast and dozens of community guest stars, "The Skin of our Teeth" is a hilarious, imaginative, and satirical love letter to human endurance, described as a "laugh-a-second, multi-millennia mindbender" by The Oregonian. Suitable for school-aged kids 7 and up, this performance, with its impressive physical feats and no narrative to follow, promises a 90-minute show with no intermission that the whole family can enjoy. Please note, the production includes theatrical haze and two brief moments of flashing lights.

This must-see event will take place at the Bagley Wright Theater from September 26 to October 20, 2024. Important dates include preview performances from September 26 to October 1, with opening night on October 2. Special performances include a mask-required show on October 6, open captions on October 10 at 7:30 p.m., Teen Night on October 11, a student matinee on October 17, and ASL & Audio Described performance on October 19.

The Skin of our Teeth

Seattle Rep

In Peter Pan Goes Wrong, the hilariously accident-prone troupe behind the smash-hit The Play That Goes Wrong attempts their most ambitious production yet: J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. Flying effects misfire, scenery collapses, cast rivalries erupt, and one technical disaster follows another as the company battles its way toward Neverland. Packed with outrageous physical comedy and gleeful theatrical chaos, this crowd-pleasing spectacle proves once again that when the Cornley Drama Society puts on a show, everything that can go wrong absolutely will—making it a perfect night of laughter for audiences of all ages.
