What to Expect

A New Play By Nabra Nelson
Directed by Alanah Pascual
A co-production with PorkFilled Productions and Seattle Public Theater

April 6th - April 8th, 2026

In the year 2080, the new normal involves taboos on pregnancy, car ownership, red meat, and single-family homes. It involves travel restrictions, a mixed-race majority, and ongoing climate disasters. But other than that, everything is the old normal. Except for Candace’s experimental pregnancy. As she waits for her husband Ahmed to adopt a child to round out their “homogeneous” Egyptian nuclear family, she starts getting pains that her Doctor can’t explain, and she meets an intriguing new friend named JeeYoung. The clock ticks as the Big One approaches to wash away Candace’s plans, but she is determined to fly away in time.
