Past Projects

"Cuddling with Strippers" by Nik Doner (2017)

Directed by Hannah Victoria Franklin

Nik Doner got sober in 2014, found a box of writings and home videos from when he was drinking and diagnosed with testicular cancer, and put them into this humorous and poignant autobiographical “slightly-solo” show about mistakes, memories, and second chances through the blurry lens of the addiction that blacked out many of his nights. 


This multimedia devised piece, workshopped and performed twice in 2017, is an irreverent, ironic, and layered look at addiction, mortality, and memory. Telling his story through humor, video, and choreographed dance, Nik dives into what he thinks he remembers about his past, asking whether or not you really know yourself, when you spent so much of your life lying.

"Blackbird" by David Harrower (2019)

Directed by Paul Budraitis 

Ray, fifty-six, has a new identity, assured that his past can't find him. Una, twenty-seven, has arrived unannounced at his office. Guilt, rage, and raw emotions run high as they recollect the passionate relationship they had fifteen years ago, when she was twelve and he was forty. 


Blackbird is a story about living with the consequences of abuse and trauma. Is it possible deconstruct a shared past and reclaim your life?

"Seattle actor/performer Nik Doner has charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent to spare and his autobiographical almost solo piece CUDDLING WITH STRIPPERS crackles with electricity and raw honesty."

“A groundbreaking piece.”


"I don’t know how I feel about it, but I definitely can’t stop thinking about it.”
