The Seaweed Sisters Unveil Their First Full-Length Live Production: A Celebration of Joy, Whimsy, and Friendship

For over a decade, the Seaweed Sisters—Megan Lawson, Jillian Meyers, and Dana Wilson—have captivated audiences with their unique blend of dance, theater, and humor. Now, the Los Angeles-based trio is taking their signature brand of playful artistry to the stage with their debut full-length live production, WEED OH NO!, running June 5–14 at the Los Angeles Theatre Center. The show promises to be a vibrant exploration of creativity, community, and the transformative power of laughter.

From Playdates to Performance Art

The Seaweed Sisters’ journey began in 2013 with a five-minute performance that quickly evolved into an annual tradition of whimsical videos and live appearances. While each member has built a successful career as a dancer—collaborating with icons like Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Justin Timberlake—they consistently return to their shared passion for collaborative art. “It’s a trio with two of my best friends,” Meyers says. “We try to make some sweet funnies with some good moves.”

Their creative process is rooted in spontaneity and mutual trust. “When we’re making something, if we all laugh, it’s like, ‘Okay, yes, that’s staying,’” Meyers explains. This ethos of “taking silliness seriously” has become their hallmark, blending technical precision with playful absurdity. “We’re like, ‘What if it’s nonsense, but executed at the same level?’” Wilson adds.

The Characters Behind the Colors

Each sister embodies a distinct persona, adding layers to their performances:

• Pink (Lawson): A confident, if occasionally misguided, leader who thrives on taking charge.
• Green (Meyers): A nervous yet eager performer who balances excitement with self-doubt.
• Blue (Wilson): The showman of the group, prioritizing fun and style over practicality.

These identities, both humorous and endearing, reflect the trio’s commitment to embracing imperfection. “It doesn’t have to be just two lanes,” Lawson says, highlighting their mission to inspire others to explore creativity beyond conventional boundaries.

A Magical Space for Discovery

WEED OH NO! is described as “a playdate” where the audience is invited to “see my room.” The production’s set design—an oversized, handmade fort made of cushions and vibrant colors—aims to immerse viewers in a world where the familiar becomes unfamiliar. “The space is alive with color and sound,” Lawson says. “We’re tickling all of the senses.”

While the show maintains the trio’s signature lightheartedness, it also delves deeper, exploring themes of curiosity, and resilience. “We’re demonstrating discovery and curiosity,” Meyers explains. “Joy is resistance—especially in times of great pressure.”

Why Joy Matters Now More Than Ever

In an era marked by global challenges, the Seaweed Sisters see their work as a form of resistance. “It’s essential for survival,” Wilson says. “To laugh, to move your body, to invite community around those things.” The show serves as a reminder that joy is a choice—a way to connect with others and reimagine the world. “Even if we don’t agree on everything, we can all feel these things,” Meyers adds.

Experience the Magic

For those seeking a celebration of creativity and camaraderie, WEED OH NO! offers a rare opportunity to witness the Seaweed Sisters’ artistry in action. With its mix of humor, heart, and high-energy performance, the show is a testament to the enduring power of play. As the trio themselves might say: “Let’s go, let’s do this.”
