New Works
What does it mean to be a good human today?
At Seattle Children’s Theatre, we believe stories can help us understand one another, ask big questions, and imagine new possibilities.
The Good Human Cycle is SCT’s new play development initiative supporting playwrights in creating original stories for young audiences that explore what it means to be a good human today.
In a complex and changing world, these new plays explore what it means to be a Good Human today:
Listen
Stay Curious
Practice Empathy
Stand up for Others
Take Responsibility
Embrace Creativity
And young people aren’t simply the audience. By bringing their voices into the creative process, SCT invites them to be collaborators, thinkers, and active members in shaping the stories that speak to their lives and communities.
The Good Human Cycle amplifies new voices and reimagines the stories we tell and who gets to tell them.
