Inspired By… : A new 10-minute play festival
Saturday, June 22 & Sunday, June 23
A new 10-minute play festival—a first for Mirror Stage!
Six playwrights, six directors, and six local change-makers come together to create six new plays in a matter of days. What emerges? Transformative stories that reflect the world we live in today, as well as the world as it could be.
Join us on this exciting new journey as local playwrights collaborate with a mix of Mirror Stage Podcast guests, drawing inspiration from their personal stories and impact across the Seattle community. Scripts are developed over three weeks, culminating in a week of rehearsals leading into the debut weekend of six staged reading performances featuring more than 20 local actors.
Mark your calendars, spread the word, and get ready to be ‘Inspired By’ new work, new voices, new stories. Meet our playwrights and their inspirations:
