Nebunele Theatre is a Seattle non-profit theatre company founded by Alissa Mortenson and Claytie Mason. They are dedicated to creating original plays with an ensemble-style rehearsal process in which no one person can take or give up complete responsibility for the work at hand. Each play is the product of what moves, delights or disturbs the individuals involved and requires a willingness to constantly change the way we envision our work. Nebunele just finished the world premiere of their original play Cussing at the Moon to great acclaim and packed houses. Here's what some of Seattle's critics had to say:

"Nebunele's moon shines...The characters draw us into their world and keep us there. Although the story deals with family dysfunction and death, its serious subject matter is generously sprinkled with heart and humor, which is often physical and always entertaining."
  -Steve Clare, The Examiner"

"Sometimes expectations are exceeded, even if expectations are high. Cussing at the Moon, an ensemble-created production by Nebunele Theatre (yes, a strange name) exceeds expectation...Choices of dialogue are sharp, to the point, and interesting..This is a lovely play, and it gets an unqualified "go see it."
  -Miryam Gordon - SGN A&E Writer

Nebunele generally produces one play a year. Our long development process includes a workshop performance, followed by time off to write and re-structure the script, and then a final performance of the completed work.
