The Anonymous Lover (L’Amont Anonyme) by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint George

Heather Dudenbostel, Director | Mark Davies, Music Director | Emma Beha, Choreographer

Join WWU Opera in Las Vegas for this hilarious, all-ages, 1980s-inspired adaptation of The Anonymous Lover by Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.

The story centers around Léontine, a widow disenchanted with the idea of love, but nonetheless ardently pursued by a secret admirer.

Bellingham Repertory Dance (BRD) presents Doubles, an evening of contemporary dance.

Doubles is a movement exploration of partnership, reciprocity, and trust. The show features repertory works by choreographers from around the United States and Vancouver BC. BRD is thrilled to share this dynamic material with Bellingham audiences.

In Laura Patterson’s “Agiocochook,” dancers seek collective survival amidst a cold and harrowing landscape. Anna Bauer and Jairus Carr’s fast dash duet is all at once articulate, specific, and quirky. Samuel Hobbs’ “Early” challenges the boundaries of physical connection, and Rob Kitsos describes his work, “Conurbation,” as a reflection of “the multiplicity of confined urban spaces.” Doubles will include the premiere of a new work by BRD’s own Gabby Malagreca, as well as other original material by current company members.

The FireHouse Arts & Events Center is excited to host this year’s Bellingham TheatreWorks Fairhaven Summer Repertory Theatre (FSRT) lineup featuring three award-winning works with women as central to each story.

FSRT themes consider the question of what happens when the choice between individual rights and responsibility to humanity becomes too knotty to unravel; Do we simply cut the ties? Or, do we carefully and intentionally untangle and examine the threads? How do we decide whose rights, are right?

What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck, directed by Mark Kuntz

Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly-human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace her profound relationship to the constitution.

• Pulitzer Prize finalist for drama, 2019

• Obie Award winner: Best New American Play, 2019

• 2019 Best American Play, New York Drama Critics Circle, 2019

• Time Magazine’s 10 Best Theater Performances of 2019

Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic struggles of the mother’s son. Gidion may have been bullied severely—or he may have been an abuser.
