How about… a perimenopausal comedy cabaret featuring killer whales?

Intiman Theatre is running a production called "The Orca Show." It’s a play that explores the lead character’s experience with perimenopause.

Along the way she bonds with someone who can truly understand what she’s going through: An orca whale.

The writer and performer behind "The Orca Show" stopped by to share how she came up with the concept for her play, which is showing at The Intiman Cabaret at the Erickson Theatre from April 16 to April 19.
