“Inspiration isn’t about opium and it isn’t about absinthe — it’s not anything fun,” Peachey said, with a laugh. “It’s despair, and it’s the hard things in life, and you might die just as you find it. But if you’ve got it, you’ve got it, and that’s what matters.”

Who is Opal Peachey?
Performer
As an actor I transform and transport my audiences to a bygone era.
Since 2009 performed at the immersive dinner theater Nordo in Seattle.
This theatrical home has opened doors for many spectacular creative opportunities. Curious? Take a look at my show gallery to see the productions in which I have both written and starred.
Writer
Creating theatre is all about self-marketing and I have crafted a unique voice through my social media presence. I’ve honed my skills as a marketing lead for Nordo, as we grew from an itinerant pop-up to opening two venues in the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood in downtown Seattle.
When the Culinarium closed in 2022 I struck out as a marketing and development consultant and have helped a variety of creative companies succeed.
Theatre Maker
Fusing these skills, I have worked solo and with a variety of artists to write and produce my own original cabarets.
From the history of woman in Champagne to the underbelly of Seattle Vice, they immerse audiences in my fictionalized narrative of the PNW perspective. My work has garnered a loyal following who are as interested in the answer to the question, “Who is Opal Peachey?” as they are entertained by the fantasies depicted on stage.
I’m also a mother
