About The Co-Conspirators

Who we are

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.
