Resistance Theater’s first production will be an updated reprise of “An American Pageant…,” it was presented on Monday, January 19, 2026, the official holiday for the celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This special performance, to be presented at the theater of Seattle Theater Group’s Kerry Hall (the original home of the Cornish School of the Arts), will be a benefit for several groups on the front lines of the resistance to Donald Trump and his MAGA Movement.
Resistance Theater is delighted to announce that, as part of this fundraising effort, we will be joined by the "Raging Grannies," a nationally known, Seattle-based protest singing group composed of, yes, grandmothers in their 70s and 80s. For over 20 years the Raging Grannies have been giving concerts and showing up to protest at public meetings and corporate gatherings. For more about the Raging Grannies, visit their website here.
The following organizations are our beneficiaries:
Common Power - Common Power works to foster, support, and amplify a democracy that is just and inclusive.
Northwest African American Museum - Since opening our doors in 2008, the Northwest African American Museum has evolved into a cultural home where art, learning, and community thrive.
All proceeds from this performance will be donated to these groups, each of which will have the opportunity to carry out fundraising at Kerry Hall the evening of the performance.
