The season lineup is:

- “Bo-Nita”: Oct. 18. This coming of age tale has this 13-year-old girl winding up with a dead, semi-ex-stepfather on her bedroom floor. Bo-Nita teams up with mom as the two are determined to stay together and out of jail.
- “The Hound of the Baskervilles”: Nov. 15. This Sherlock Holmes tale is adapted by veteran Seattle theater artists David Pichette and R. Hamilton Wright who put their take on this Victorian whodunit about an attempted murder tied to the legend of a fearsome hound.
- “A Great Wilderness”: Jan. 17. A man who has devoted his life to counseling teenage boys out of their homosexuality suffers a tragedy when dementia sets in and must confront his own demons.
- “Venus in Fur”: Feb. 7. Who is this Vanda and why does this actress appear out of nowhere to play a leading lady? Is it a power play or does she want the part? This show is cheeky with a nod toward the erotic.
- “The Suit”: March 19. Set in apartheid South Africa to a rich musical score, this story has a husband punishing his wife by asking her to treat her lover’s abandoned suit as a guest of honor in their home.
- “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”: April 18. Edward Albee presents the dysfunctional couple of George and Martha who parade their ugliness in front of a young couple who just came over for a nightcap.
- “Once”: May 27. At the Paramount Theatre presented in association with Seattle Theatre Group and Broadway Across America. The tale of a Dublin street musician who almost calls it quits when a beautiful woman takes an interest in his songs. But their connection is more than just a happenstance romance.
