Join us for the 3rd Annual The Distillery New Works Festival. The Distillery New Works Festival is a weekend-long celebration of emerging theater. It features exciting new plays from local and national playwrights. The readings conclude with a discussion of the play, giving writers the chance to receive feedback from Seattle audiences (like You!) and providing a platform to help shape new works in progress.

"Determined to make something of herself, a girl from rural Texas dreams of flying. But it’s 1917 and flight schools don’t accept women, much less one who is Black and Native. Refusing to take no for answer, Bessie Coleman charts a most unique path, making her legacy - aviation legend." Content Advisories: Discussion and depiction of racism.
