The Sandbox Artists Collective A Membership Based Collective of Seattle Theater Artists What is the Sandbox AC? They quickly realized a need to “increase” the size of the table.

The Sandbox Artists Collective is a membership based collective of working theatre professionals in Seattle, Washington. It began in early 2007 as an idea born around a table at Freehold by Robin Lynn Smith, Liza Comtois, Gin Hammond, Elizabeth Heffron, Amy Thone and Annette Toutonghi. This group was looking for a way to revitalize Seattle’s theatre community through Freehold’s Theatre Lab, which

had been quiet since Freehold’s abrupt move from Capitol Hill to Belltown. In an effort to continue to push for a renaissance of new, courageous and experimental work in our artistic community, they reached out to ever 50 of Seattle’s mid-career professional artists and invited them to an open house to talk and dream about creating a place where theatre artists could...

experiment and work out together
generate new material
expand and deepen their skills
cross-pollinate ideas with writers, actors, directors, designers and musicians

The open house was held July 28th, 2007. Over the next two years the larger group developed what is now The Sandbox Artists Collective. We strive to support each other in the development of new work, experimentation with form, and enhancement of the skills of our craft. Membership in the collective is by invitation. The Sandbox has Leadership, Programming, Communications and Membership committees that serve as the administration of the group. The Sandbox Artists Collective is a program of Freehold Theatre Lab. Our Mission

We are a collective of Seattle theater professionals who dare each other to create through mutual cooperation and support. We work, play, and experiment with purpose. We form a center from which we expand and return, recruit and rally, and exceed our individual potentials. CONTACT US

Well, after 19 years it’s time for Heather and me to leave our house in Green Lake: the only house Declan remembers, the only house where Keelan has ever lived. It’s seen countless White Trash Christmas parties and smaller summer backyard get-togethers. It saw us through the Covid Lockdown and the elections of the first African American president this country has ever known, then 8 years later, the worst president this country has ever known. Despite its one bathroom, dodgy garage door, sh*tty layout and incipient black mold, it has been good to us, and we to it. Nevertheless, the time is ripe, in the next few months, for us to part ways.

Alas, the irony is that currently everyone in the family is working for the City of Seattle, so, we’d like to stay close to downtown and UW. Then again, BECAUSES we work for the City of Seattle, we can’t really afford to LIVE in the City of Seattle. That said, with Keelan moving out in July and Declan gone since last September, we can consider something smaller. But we do also have two lovely and fastidious cats, so a “no pets” disclaimer is a non-starter.

Friends, can you help us find our next ideal home? We lean on you all for a little bit of magic.

Thanks in advance!
