Meet the performer and creator of Mortem: The After Death: !!!

Bradley K. Wrenn is a theater artist devoted to “joyful play and absurd whimsy,” and a former co–artistic director of The Berserker Residents, where he created original, improvisation-driven comedic work praised by The Scotsman and The New York Times.
He teaches clown, farce, and improv at the University of Washington, has trained with Philippe Gaulier, Chris Bayes, and Emmanuel Delpech, and has presented work internationally with collaborators including Ars Nova, FringeArts, and Pig Iron Theatre Company.

You can catch Mortem May 21st - 23rd at with shows playing at 7:30 P.M. and tickets available on a sliding scale!

Our fundraising goal this year is $3,500, to help subsidize the pay-what-you-can tickets we offer to every event (and subscription!).

Last season (2024-2025), 60% of our tickets were pay-what-you-can or reduced price. That's 2,000 people having increased access to theater, and over $25,000 in ticket revenue subsidized by Dacha.

That makes our PWYC mission our second-highest budget item, with only artist stipends exceeding it for annual cost.

As we continue to make bigger, bolder, and more expensive art, help us sustain our PWYC mission by donating any amount today.

Coming to 12th Avenue Arts June 5th -27th is a new interactive show built in the theatre of the mind…

💭DREAM, CARL, DREAM!💭

It’s five minutes ‘till Sleepytime and the latest set of rewrites are even worse than the last. The Director of Dreaming is considering pulling the plug and putting up another rerun of “Teeth Fall Out (School Assembly Version)” but the truth is everyone knows that the stakes are too high for that.

😴In their waking life, Carl seems to be holding it together, but in the depths of their subconscious, Carl knows they could be – want be – so much more. In fact, Carl’s dreams might just be the only connection they still have to their deepest self.

That’s where YOU come in. In this immersive, interactive piece, you will assist the beleaguered neurons of the Dream Department in programming each night’s dreams💤

Work alongside your mental colleagues during the day, and then sit back, relax, and watch the show once the dreams start to play. Plumb the depths of this unknown psyche deep enough and you may even find a way to show Carl what they truly need✨
