Gaisma is the Latvian word for light. Gaisma Theatre Group strives to offer light and support to communities through the work it produces. 

We are an inclusive, 501c3 non-profit theatre company whose primary mission is to support the musical theatre writers of Seattle and the Pacific Northwest.

We are excited to announce our first fully-staged production. In partnership with Copious Love Productions, Gaisma Theatre Group will present the world premiere musical:

Chicken Tinders
A musical fable inspired by The Nun’s Priest’s Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer
Book and Lyrics by Scott Zenreich
Music and Lyrics by John Gregor

Chicken Tinders is a fable, in the spirit of Chaucer, about the last Chicken in a farm’s pecking order. One morning, the Rooster who normally crows to bring up the Sun dies, and the Farm is thrown into a frenzy, believing it is the last day on Earth. It is a zany, heartfelt allegory about making original art and what we prioritize in perhaps our final moments.

This bold and playful new musical runs May 22-31 at the Issac Studio Theatre at Taproot Theatre. You can purhcse tickets here.

As a 501c3 non-profit theatre company, we are always appreciative of donations!
