About Us
18th Ave Theater in Seattle is a non-profit, Polish community theater. We started our activities in May 2021 and in-person rehearsals at The Polish Home at Capitol Hill in Seattle. Our mission is to cultivate the Polish language and culture. We want to serve the local Polish community by performing for Polish families in the greater Seattle area. We aim to be inclusive and remove barriers and make our shows available for all who want to join us. That is why our shows are ticketed on a pay what you can basis.
The Adventures of the Mischievous Flea
The performance entitled "The Adventures of the Mischievous Flea" is based on the adaptation of a fairy tale by Jan Brzechwa. The purpose of the performance is:
teach through play
create a colorful immersive performance
enrich the experience with elements of music, light, and sound effects.
Tickets:
The premiere is on Friday, June 24th at 6:30 PM. The second performance is on Saturday, June 25th at 2PM. You can purchase tickets on EventBrite. Thank you for all your support!
Out theater is a volunteer-based, non profit organization. We appreciate all your support. To make it possible for everyone to join us we decided to remove the financial barrier and we offer a Pay what you can option for our tickets.
