WETWorks is our brand new Playwright-in-Residence program, in partnership with Hugo House. Over the next year, WET will collaborate with three playwrights for a three-month paid residency each. They will be provided space to write and a creative team, culminating in a final presentation at Hugo House at the end of their tenure. WETWorks provides the tangible resources, community connections, and creative space needed for Seattle playwrights. With this program we hope to answer a call for Seattle based playwriting opportunity, as well as echo the Pacific Northwest lens and experience back to ourselves.
