DRAGON MAMA Part II of The Dragon Cycle

MARCH 4 - APRIL 12, 2026

Directed by Andrew Russell

“Broadway star Sara Porkalob returns to the Geffen Playhouse for the second installment of “The Dragon Cycle.” In this next chapter, Maria Porkalob, Jr. dreams of a bigger, gayer life beyond Bremerton, WA. But when an unexpected chance to escape arises, she faces an impossible choice—stay with her struggling family or chase freedom in the wilds of Alaska. Packed with ghosts, Filipino gangsters, and a killer ’90s R&B soundtrack, this award-winning, high-octane solo show is a raw, hilarious, and deeply moving story of resilience, queer love, and what it takes to break free and find home.”

JAR OF FAT is a phantasmagorical, absurdist Korean American tale about the allure and danger entangled within the quest for beauty and thinness.

Two Korean American sisters are deemed too fat to fit in their family grave. Will their close bond survive under the pressure of their community and fretful parents, who will spare no effort to make them tinier?

The fifteenth winner of the Yale Drama Prize, Seayoung Yim’s play burns through the accumulated rage that anti-fat bias produces to reclaim what it steals from us every day: grace, space, possibility, and breath.

With essential support from 4culture, Kent Station, and the Venturous Playwright Fellowship, Theatre Battery is proud to open this world premiere production with Radical Hospitality: FREE ADMISSION FOR ALL AUDIENCES on September 5th, 2026. The play will be directed by a creative legend of both Pacific Northwest theatre and Broadway: Sara Porkalob.
