NWTW Founders’ Showcase: Staged readings of two dynamic new works celebrate Northwest Theatre Workshop. Unmediated: Investigating a mysterious cult, reporter Hal Turnin mistrusts his instincts — and his sanity — in this quirky, darkly comedic psychological thriller. Do That Dance: While celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary, Dan and Joan confront true-love’s ever-perplexing question: how do you keep dancing when, time and again, life changes the tune? A jazzy, poignant, romantic comedy.

These showcase productions are staged readings, similar to a radio play, full of imagination, with well-rehearsed performers holding scripts in their hands.
