In Washington, the participating theaters are:

BAT Theatre (Burien)
Intiman Theatre (Seattle)

Village Theatre (Issaquah)

Playwrights Welcome was developed for Dramatists Guild of America Members by Samuel French along with Dramatists Play Service, Dramatic Publishing, Music Theatre International, Playscripts, and Rodgers and Hammerstein. 

The goal is to provide free access to theatre for playwrights, composers, and lyricists. BAT is invested in the success and artistic health of playwrights, and by extension the vibrancy of theatre. BAT is aware that attending theatre is an integral part of learning the craft.

BAT is proud to be part of Playwrights Welcome, which offers available tickets to professional playwrights on the day of a performance, free of charge.
