Kate Lund’s A Confirmation of Gravity
Zoe Carpenter’s A Triple Fantasy
Each year, Seattle Dramatists chooses two gifted high school
playwrights who've participated in ACT Theatre's Young Playwrights Program. We give those students a year-long membership to Seattle Dramatists and a reading of their script with professional actors. It's always amazing to see what gifted teenagers can accomplish! This year's readings are directed by Keri Healey and Scot Augustson.

Bret Fetzer’s Lollyville
High in the mountains, tucked in a lush valley, sits Lollyville. Cut off from the world outside, the women of Lollyville -- and there are only
women in Lollyville -- struggle with strange afflictions and stranger desires: Alice's sadness makes her impossibly heavy. Isobel has never
known loneliness and craves this exotic sensation. And Ruth -- though
she already has two lovely daughters -- has fallen in love with another
child and suddenly her own girls don't seem so precious. Slipping in and out of these stories is the Ghost of a man who made the mistake of falling in love in Lollyville, were men can visit but never live...

“It is important to spend time developing plays. When plays are pushed too quickly into production, it doesn’t serve the play or the playwright or the audience. That is why the arrival of Seattle Dramatists is so exciting.”
- Allison Narver, Artistic Director,
Empty Space Theatre
SEATTLE DRAMATISTS
Tickets to all our readings and open mics are available at the door.
