Contemporary Theatre, A (Seattle). Started in 1965 by Gregory Arthur Falls, director of the drama program at the University of Washington, as a summer theatre alternative for the city, the company performed in a 449‐seat thrust theatre renovated from a business site. Over the years the company became well known for their commitment to new works, sending several original scripts on to New York. But financial difficulties in late 2002 forced the theatre to announce its closing. At the last moment, funding was found to continue, but the future of the company, under its new artistic director Kurt Beattie, is unstable at best.
