The Seattle Playwriting Conference is for all Seattle-area playwrights, theatre artists, and community members. The day will be a combination of workshops, panels, and networking events with light lunch and evening snacks provided. The goal is to provide time and space for professional development, networking, resource learning, and connecting with our local playwriting community.

This conference is presented in partnership with Parley Productions. Parley is a collaborative production company that develops and launches experimental, affordable dramatic art in all forms. They believe that by committing to an ongoing process of creation, feedback, and production, we surrender the lone struggle and move forward together.
