Accountability and the Arts: A Space of Your Own
SEATTLE - The Shunpike is excited to announce the next installment of their successful “Accountability & the Arts” series. “A Space of Your Own” will be held Monday, March 5th at 7pm in the Seattle Center House. It is geared towards small and mid-sized performing arts companies who are interested in the challenges and opportunities of having their own performance space.
Many new theater companies want nothing more than a home of their own. Others just want to focus on the work and never stay late unclogging a stuck toilet. How do you decide what’s right for you and your company? Is the grass really greener on the other side? Our panelists will be Andrew McMasters, Artistic Director of Wing-It Productions, which runs the Historic University Theater, Jennifer Zeyl, ensemble member of Washington Ensemble Theatre, and Andrew Litszky and Llysa Holland, “Artistic Instigators” of theater simple, a company that tours the world and has never had a permanent home.

The series launched in April 2005 with a public forum on the concept of accountability, and has continued bimonthly ever since.
