First Look 2011
The Seattle Playwrights’ Collective, an emerging Seattle theatre group dedicated to cultivating local playwrights by providing them with opportunities for workshops, readings, and productions, continues its First Look Reading Series this year with a dynamic line-up of plays read by professional actors. Free to the public, these readings are followed by a chat-back with the author in which audience members can give the playwright valuable feedback about the piece to help with the continued development of the play. First Look readings take place at the Little Red Studio, 400 Dexter Avenue, Seattle.
