Thrill to the vision of a dank Cavern filled with Rock Tombs!
Marvel at Spirits speaking in Iambic Pentameter!
Adore the Beauty of Lady Margaret and her damply curled wilting Locks!
Recoil in Horror at Peculiar Behaviors!
Swoon in Rapture at the idea of a Wedding Night with a Desperately Needy but Very Attractive Vampire!

THE VAMPIRE or The Bride of the Isles was the most popular melodrama in London in 1820. Based on the original by J.R Planche, Ki Gottberg creates a fusion of then and now in a wild mix of characters and casting, complete with ROMANCE and DASTARDLY DOINGS. Conceived as a live radio drama, this new/old work will adapt to whatever Covid throws at us, and with live Foley sound and bits of contemporary song, this entertaining diversion is sure to please!

Visitors to the Seattle University Campus must complete the Safe Start Health Check before coming to campus:

Visitors must either have been vaccinated or have a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the campus visit, and they must be willing to show proof of one or the other. These changes are due to changes in government guidelines for our region.

Remember to bring your mask, photo ID, and proof of an approved health screening.

Based on the novel by Natalie Babbitt

What would you do if you had all eternity?

Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined. When Winnie learns of the magic behind the Tuck's unending youth, she must fight to protect their secret from those who would do anything for a chance at eternal life. As her adventure unfolds, Winnie faces an extraordinary choice: return to her life, or continue with the Tucks on their infinite journey.

Based on best-selling children's classic by Natalie Babbitt and adapted for the stage by Claudia Shear and Tim Federle, Tuck Everlasting features a soaring score from Chris Miller and Nathan Tysen.

Will she see her sister again? Is Chancellor Rayne hiding something? And what is really going on with the Chromatons, the robots who serve the city? Can a group of teenagers uncover the truth?

Thrill to a trio of original short horror films starring YTN student actors, directed by Seattle theater artist and Paranormal Investigator Kim Douthit, and written by YTN alum and current television writer Sarah Eisenberg.

In Cursed Letters, five random teenagers receive anonymous, cryptic letters that tell them to meet in the park or their darkest secrets will be revealed. Then in Will You? two friends are making a "promposal" video when a strange radio frequency interrupts, causing everyone in the neighborhood to enter a deranged zombie-like state. The final short film in the trio is Killer Campout in which Jenny brings a Ouija board to a girls only camp out - just for fun. When they use it, they accidentally summon a demon that possesses Jenny's hairbrush!
