Through Public Works Seattle, Seattle Rep will use the art of theatre to connect people with one another and with the city as a whole. Working collaboratively with five non-profits, the project will engage over 150 people to participate in free weekly workshops and attend monthly performances at the Seattle Repertory Theater.
