The Co-Conspirators are a Seattle-based producing collective providing challenging, enriching, and artistically rigorous work in defiance of an industry that still undervalues women and their stories. We produce femme-forward theatre that showcases and compensates the many talented but under-utilized artists in our community, in particular female and gender non-conforming artists over the age of 30, through developmental workshops, public readings and world premieres of new plays. Your founding Co-Conspirators are Melanie Godsey, Kelly Karcher, and Kyna Shilling.
We're currently fundraising to support SPONSORED BY THE VOID by local Seattle playwright and Co-Conspirator Melanie Godsey. This psychosexual queer feminist horror comedy explores despair, agency, and women’s erotic relationship with The Void. With your help, we're producing a limited Seattle run this summer and then taking the show to the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August!
About SPONSORED BY THE VOID:
Leah's life is crushing her: work, friendships, and her long-term boyfriend pile responsibilities on with no end in sight. When Leah is approached by a manifestation of The Void in the form of an alluring woman, she must decide what she’s willing to risk to reclaim her agency. Is she ready to look her own desires right in the mouth?
Audiences rave: “Beautifully sharp, deeply sexy, fantastically unsettling.” “Great sense of existential dread!”
