Such artists include playwrights, musical theatre writers, librettists, poets, podcasters, stand-up comedians, sketch writers, monologuists, spoken word poets, song writers, oral storytellers, etc. etc. etc.

Past Conferences
We started our annual conference in 2024. The Seattle Playwrights Conference was presented in partnership with Parley Productions. In 2025, we dropped the “Seattle” to include more Pacific Northwest playwrights and presented the Playwriting Conference in partnership with Beyond the Stage Youth. In 2026, we’ve rebranded to Scrib Fest, grown to two days, added a festival feel, and expanded to support all performance writers.
