Are you broke? Know someone who is? Every Thursday night performance of 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick is pay-what-you-can with the super secret password "Good and Plenty" (you'll get it when you see the show). Pass it on.
The Stranger says, "...probably as close to the happy chaos of reading a Dick novel as the stage will ever see"
The Weekly says, "...a beautifully structured example of what surreal theatre can be."
Here's the low-down:

800 Words is wild ride into the mind of visionary science fiction writer Philip K. Dick,
which happens to include-
a phantom twin,
a secret agent man,
a talking cat
and the voice of God.
"Insanity is sometimes an appropriate response to reality." - Philip K. Dick
Whose reality, or fantasy, are we watching onstage? Whose reality are we living? Was Philip K Dick a visionary or madman? Blurring the lines between reality and perception, 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K. Dick is a reinvention of the last days of this legendary writer. Based on a true story, the play begins just as Philips novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is to be released as the Hollywood film Blade Runner.
If you like a firm line between art and entertainment, reality and fantasy, us versus them, prepare to have your mind blown by the darkly funny and absurd journey that is Victoria Stewart's 800 Words: The Transmigration of Philip K Dick.
It features an exciting cast of Seattle actors including Shawn Belyea as Philip K. Dick, Megan Ahiers, Erin Kraft, Holly Arsenault, Colin Connors, Nik Perleros, and Darian Lindle. The production team includes stage manager Laura Lindle, dramaturg Erin Culbertson, set design by Grant Laine, props by Gretchen Drew, lighting by Dave Hastings, sound design from Jason Miller, puppets by Brian Stricklan with additional crew assistance from Collin Fredinburg.

I saw this show last night, and it's definitely worth seeing. Well-written and beautifully acted.
The theatre company--Live Girls!--was started about 7 years ago by Cornish alum Meghan Arnette, and they recently moved into a great funky space in Ballard.
