The Shattered Glass Project 2024 New Works Festival: New Voices, New Narratives is the culminating presentation by the participants in the Director and Playwright Incubator/Mentor Program. The Shattered Glass Project is unique in Seattle’s rich theatrical ecosystem, presenting a festival created by a cohort of women and non-binary directors and playwrights supporting one another through a year of skill building and play development workshops.
Ranging in style from lyrical to camp to realism, the four plays elevate new and diverse voices re-examining traditional narratives and socially relevant topics through the powerful medium of theater. 
The Plays:
The Uterine Files:
Episode One, Voices Spitting Out the Rainbow.
Written by Jourdan Imani Keith | directed by Rebecca O’Neil.
A lyrical choreopoem rooted in movement, music, and the lineage of African American narratives, exploring the experience of generations of African American women, and demanding an answer to the question “what are they doing with our uteruses?”
Carmilla
Written by Mariah Lee Squires and S.W. Jones | directed by Aidyn Stevens.
A camp-horror adaptation of an original, queer, female, pre-Dracula vampire novella, introducing the mother of the modern monster and shattering the mold of protagonists in horror.

A timely indictment of medical racism as three women fight a hypocritical senator to secure the right for women to control and protect their own reproductive destinies.
The design team includes Bella Rivera (scenic), Alison Kozar (sound), Montse Garza (Lighting), and Elizabeth Shipman & SusanAnne Luchenta (costumes). The Incubator/Mentor Program and The Shattered Glass Project are funded by the Seattle Office of Arts and Culture 2022 Hope Corps Grant.
