Every June, On the Boards transforms into an open studio for the most gifted theater-makers, dancers, and performance artists in the region. Over the course of five performance-packed days, you'll see previews and dry runs and snippets of the shows everyone will be talking about two years from now. For their 36th edition, there are brand-new works from Sasha Petrenko (who promises an “eco-feminist sci-fi performance about sticky entanglements across ecologies”), Arson Nicki (one of Seattle’s most concerned avant-garde drag queens), HATLO (the Stranger Genius Award–winning director of Thatswhatshesaid, the solo show that challenged draconian copyright laws and raised awareness of the need for better women's roles in theater), and Body Home Fat Dance ("a fat-celebrating dance collaboration"). by Rich Smith
