Help Keep Our Soup Pot Full:
Stone Soup Theatre specializes in providing interesting and unusual work in a short play, at an affordable price, but we struggle to afford our space:
In October 2013, our DownStage rent increased by 40%.
October 2014, the Downstage space went through a change of ownership and potential rent increase.
Join Stone Soup in our annual campaign to raise $5,000 to offset rental costs and pay for our triple net taxes so that we can stay in our home.
Thank you to those who donated last year!
About Stone Soup:
In 1996, Maureen Miko wanted to start a small, neighborhood-oriented professional theatre. She found a defunct pet grooming shop standing empty on Stone Way, walked in and saw possibilities. The street name reminded her of a favorite story from her childhood about hungry, tired soldiers limping into an impoverished village where the villagers are none-too-interested in sharing their meager stores of food. One enterprising soldier fills a pot with water and tosses in a stone, saying how delicious the soup would be if someone had an onion. An onion is produced, then a carrot…eventually, each villager brings something to the broth and soon villagers and soldiers alike sit down to a wonderful meal made all the better because everyone contributed to its creation. Bringing together the street name and this old fable, Stone Soup Theatre was born. Here at Stone Soup, it is our philosophy that everyone – actor, author and audience – bring an essential ingredient to the creation of theatre and the sum is always greater than the parts. We are proud to be entering our sixteenth year here on Stone Way and wish to extend our profound thanks to the devoted students, friends and patrons who have supported us.
In 1999, Stone Soup Theatre began entertaining Seattle audiences with professional productions of one-act plays. The works of Tennessee Williams, Eugene Ionesco, John Guare, A.A. Milne, Harold Pinter, Thornton Wilder, Anton Chekhov, Neil Simon, Edward Albee, Tom Stoppard and Athol Fugard have been featured.
