BAT, in partnership with Concord Theatricals and Dramatists Guild of America, offers free tickets to Guild member playwrights through a program called Playwrights Welcome.
The participating theaters in Washington State are:
BAT Theatre (Burien)
Intiman Theatre (Seattle)
Village Theatre (Issaquah)
Playwrights Welcome was developed for Dramatists Guild of America Members by Samuel French and Dramatists Play Service, Dramatic Publishing, Music Theatre International, Playscripts, and Rodgers and Hammerstein.
The goal is to provide playwrights, composers, and lyricists with free access to theatre. BAT is invested in playwrights’ success and artistic health and, by extension, the vibrancy of theatre. BAT knows that attending theatre is an integral part of learning the craft.
As part of Playwrights Welcome, BAT offers available tickets to professional playwrights on the day of a performance, free of charge. To receive a BAT ticket through Playwrights Welcome, please email BAT at tickets@BATtheatre.org or call BAT at 206-242-5180 on the day of the performance you would like to attend. If tickets are still available, BAT will hold one ticket for you at BAT’s box office. You must present your Dramatists Guild membership card to pick up your ticket.
