EnJoy Productions

 

EnJoy Productions designs and produces original live events for public performance, non-profit fundraising, community festivals, leadership and team-building and organizational meetings. In 2022 and 2023, EnJoy created and produced over 100 hours of free live performance in downtown Seattle, living into its commitment to support the revitalization of civic spaces. In 2024 EnJoy returned to its roots of creating original theater and produced the world premier of the immersive rock musical Venus & The Vixens: Games of Love, under the leadership of EnJoy’s Co-Founder and Artistic Director Martha Enson. It was through EnJoy’s fiscal sponsorship relationship with Shunpike that the company was able to raise the tax-exempt donations necessary to hire 35+ artists, and spend a year writing, rehearsing and co-creating with Composer and Musical Director Sari Breznau, and writer/performer Caila Bailey.

Martha Enson and Kevin Joyce’s have a 35 year history of cultural programming in King County, from their base on Vashon Island, as co-founders of UMO Ensemble, producing the first Fringe Festival, as original performers with the Moisture Festival, and performers, directors and producers for Teatro Zinzanni. Additionally, EnJoy produced the Compassionate Leadership Summit at UW. Since 2004, EnJoy has hired 50-100 regional artists per year from all genres of performing and visual arts.


Venus & The Vixens: Games of Love is an audacious new theatrical work conceived, written and directed by Martha Enson, with music by Sari Breznau, libretto by Martha Enson, Sari Breznau and Caela Bailey and presented by EnJoy Productions. It had its wildly successful world premiere at Emerald City Trapeze arts in SODO (Seattle), in June of 2024. 

Venus & The Vixens: Games of Love is an interactive rock musical, an immersive theatrical experience, and a joyous antidote to post-pandemic isolation and technology overload. This 21+ event will feature incredible food and drink, an all-female rock band (The Vixens), Broadway-worthy songs, the epic mythic love story of Cupid & Psyche, (optional) interactive games and show participation, and remarkable food and drink provided by Vashon Island's iconic The Ruby Brink restaurant and Bar. Grab a bit and a drink, play some games, and lose yourself in the electro pop sounds of a heart-pumping all-female disco-rock band. It’s a fresh take on a God + Mortal love love story, filled with games of chance, aerial flourishes, physical challenges, and playful surprises. Come out, connect with others: play, risk, win, lose, play! As Venus says, you can't win if you don't play.


We are so thrilled to continue working in the post-pandemic revitalization of Seattle and the vitality of the live performing arts. We can't do it without your help! Please give generously. Thank you!
