🎭 Calling All Directors
Youth Summer Production 2025
Seattle Public Theater’s Education Department is thrilled to announce an open call for a professional director to lead our Youth Summer Production, launching our 2025-2026 season. This unique opportunity is a collaboration between our Student Advisory Board and local playwrights, creating an original horror/comedy anthology that amplifies teen voices and explores themes of displacement, self-discovery, and navigating relationships.
About the Show
Set in Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market, the play follows a group of teens who stumble upon a secret society responsible for keeping local urban legends and monsters in check. As they take on this new responsibility, they must also navigate conflicts within their group—because monsters aren’t the only thing they’re up against.
