Theater Latté Da has announced single tickets are now available for its first production of the 2026-2027 Season, Indecent, by Paula Vogel, with a score and original music by Lisa Gutkin and Aaron Halva. The production’s official opening will take place on Saturday, September 19 at 7:30pm, with previews beginning on Wednesday, September 16. Performances take place at the historic Ritz Theater, 345 13th Avenue NE - the permanent home of Theater Latté Da.
Indecent is a play about a play - and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch’s seminal Yiddish work, God of Vengeance, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial, Indecent is a haunting, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed “indecent.” As their story unfolds across continents and decades, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship, nationalism and the policing of queer love. At once tender and thunderously relevant, this breathtaking theatrical experience shines a light on the enduring struggle between artistic expression and societal control. In a moment when questions of whose stories are “acceptable” feel increasingly urgent, Indecent invites us to bear witness to the courage of artists, the cost of silence and the unshakable power of theater itself.
"There are few plays that feel as urgently necessary today as Indecent. It is a breathtaking work about artists who refuse to let fear dictate what can be imagined, expressed, or shared. At a moment when conversations around censorship and cultural memory continue to shape our public life, this play reminds us that the freedom to create is never guaranteed... it is something every generation must actively protect." Latté Da Artistic Director, Justin Lucero
Indecent is directed by Pirronne Yousefzadeh. Music direction is by Spencer Chandler and movement direction by Emily Michaels King. The design team includes scenic and costume designer Sarah Bahr, lighting designer Søren Olsen, sound & projections designer Peter Morrow, props designer Madelaine Foster, hair and makeup designer Emma Gustafson and dialect coach Spencer Chandler. Shelby Reddig is production stage manager and Austin Schoenfelder is assistant stage manager.
Theater Latté Da’s 2026-2027 season invites audiences to engage with the complexities of the present moment through five powerful works that challenge silence, celebrate resilience, and honor the transformative power of shared experience. Following Indecent, the lineup continues with the holiday tradition All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, and then Justin Huertas’s indie-rock musical Lizard Boy.
