“BAT wants Burien to be a place where art and artists thrive!”
This year – with the assistance of King County Council Councilmember Dave Upthegrove – there will be three $1,000.00 scholarships.
Recently one of the scholarships was awarded to a student at Kennedy Catholic High School. The other two scholarships will be awarded to students in the Highline School District.

There is one weekend of performances left in BAT’s bi-annual playwrights festival of new plays, which is onstage through May 19, 2019.
The critics say:
“This year’s production of BAT’s Playwright Fest is very satisfying. It is wonderful to be able to see great theater so close to home.”
