A new 10-minute play festival—a first for Mirror Stage!

Six playwrights 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 presentation of six simply staged plays, featuring more than 20 local actors.
