Seattle Public Theater Interim Artistic Director Kelly Kitchens announced a new biennial $10,000 Emerald Prize to be awarded by the organization.
“Seattle Public Theater is dedicated to producing new plays for Seattle audiences, but rarely has the opportunity to produce world premiere plays by nationally recognized artists due to its small national theatrical footprint”, says Kitchens. “We want to change that. The Emerald Prize will connect a nationally recognized playwright to the Seattle Area’s performance community so the region’s voice is heard in national conversations and concerns.”
