Pork Filled Productions Launches Connect, PFP’s 2026 Season

     Connect is the theme for Pork Filled Productions’ 2026 season, covering a five-event season that embraces new works and nurturing new networks of artists cultivated under the umbrella of the Pacific Northwest’s oldest Asian American theatre group.

     “All of the plays that we’ve selected for our 2025 season involve people fighting for connection and community,” says PFP Associate Producer Alegra Batara. “In addition, many of our other events have a big focus on collaboration, both with other theatre groups such as Jet City Improv, and with the community in general, like our Community Festival.”

     “Above and beyond that,” says Executive Director Roger Tang, “we are now reaching to groups not normally connected to Northwest Asian American theatres in the past and digging into artistic territories that have been seldom explored by them.”

     First up is the return of Instant Noodles, our co-production with SIS Productions, to the Theatre Off Jackson, February 21 to 22, 2026. Sold out at both 2025 shows, Instant Noodles is a 24 hour play festival where nearly four dozen Asian American writers, actors, directors and designers create seven brand new plays from scratch.

     The annual co-production with Jet City Improv is at West of Lenin, May 2026. Not Another Isekai: Or That Time I Got Reincarnated in an Improv Show is an anime-inspired improv show, guided by the mind of Yichao, with a different guest star featured each night.

     Back to the Theatre Off Jackson in June 15-20, 2026, as PFP presents the AAPI Community Festival. The Festival expands our traditional Community Night to a full week of events, showcasing performers from all corners and all artforms of the AAPI community, all hosted by the all-AAPI improv group fromJoy Market. Plus! A “living trailer”/sneak peak of the PFP mainstage show!

     That mainstage show will by Nanay, by Molly Olis Krost, October 29 to November 14, 2026 at the Theatre Off Jackson. Halloween time is the perfect time for this world premiere of this spooky tale that mixes Filipino mythology and tradition to compare eastern and western approaches to sisterhood, trauma and healing.

     Plus! Extra bonus mystery attraction! Keep an eye out in Spring 2026, as PFP takes over the stage of another Seattle theatre as we present a new play exploring the storms of identify and climate change!
