Powering The Playwright

Rain City Projects supports playwrights and their work in the Pacific Northwest. We develop projects to raise the profile of the playwright within the working theater community, and build relationships between theater artists and producers.

 

Effective immediately, we are postponing all planned programs and events. At this moment, there is nothing more important than seeking justice for the Black community and demanding accountability from our law enforcement agencies. Black lives matter, and we must throw our full support behind the fight for social justice and racial equity. The lynching of George Floyd was not just a hate crime committed against Black people; it was a crime committed against humanity, as were the recent killings of Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and Ahmaud Arbery. These human beings are just the latest among countless Black lives that have been claimed by police violence, and once again prove that Black people are under attack in this country.

Salons

Theater is not a very social environment for the lonely playwright. We bring these artists together in a room to talk about craft, current projects, gossip, whatever.
