What is the SLINGSHOT SERIES? - STAGEright has established themselves as an ambitious and exploratory theatre company in its past few seasons and will be continuing to do great work with their productions of Elephant Man and New Brain in the near future! In the meantime, they have put together the New Works Slingshot Series - What is Slingshot? Episodes one and two of the New Works Slingshot Series (March 12th and 19th, respectively) represent the premiere productions of downSTAGEright, STAGEright's New Artist wing. Our goal is to offer new artists in all theatrically-minded fields the opportunity to practice their craft in a horizontally-structured environment. The idea behind Slingshot is to, literally, fling as much at our audience as possible- it's about introducing new actors, directors, playwrights, scripts, spaces, ideas, themes, et al. to as many people as we can. By offering tickets for free we hope to create as open an environment as possible and will be including opportunities for audience feedback to ensure a dialogue between art-makers and art-takers. The Slingshot Series will be a recurring event produced by downSTAGEright offering serialized readings of new works by and for Seattle-based audiences and artists. The series will culminate in a "Best Of..." production in December, offering fully realized productions of the most well received plays. Artistic Directors of the Slingshot Series are Kiki Penoyer and Roland Carette-Meyers.
