ONE PERFORMANCE ONLY - JULY 30th @ 8pm

NOTE: Seats are now available for reservation online, with a select amount held at the door specifically for walk-up patrons. If online reservations are sold out, tickets will be released to walk ups at the door starting one hour before the performance. If you make a reservation but do not show up, your seats will be released to walk ups starting 5 minutes before curtain. Once all seats are filled, standing room will be available. 

Now in its seventh cycle, SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK will connect local new play artists with one another and stretch the limits of unlikely collaborations. In the span of 24 continuous hours, dozens of artists will work together to write, rehearse, and perform a series of original plays. 

Playwrights, directors, and actors will be randomly grouped and then together face challenges constructed to encourage risk-taking in the creative process. Each team will tackle its own production condition, with one group creating an original ten minute musical, for which they will be joined by a composer and musicians. 

Though the framework has been created by Theatre Battery, the content is completely in the hands of the participating artists and the most up-to-date expression of their world. Participants include Theatre Battery regulars, past collaborators from main stage and developmental projects, and a host of new entries from the Puget Sound area.

Note: We will be operating as a fully vaccinated company and asking audience members to mask at this event.

Radical Hospitality: No Cost Admission for All

THEATRE BATTERY produces experimental plays for the suburban community of Kent, Washington. We aim to nurture our audience's understanding of the connection between theatre and relevant social issues through the presentation of contemporary works in nontraditional settings. As Kent's only source of theatre operating outside of an educational institution, Theatre Battery tasks local artists to create socially testing and unapologetic work that ignites the community.
