Seattle’s Seayoung Yim wins prestigious Yale Drama Series Prize, the next step in a budding career

The Seattle Times: When Seattle’s Seayoung Yim learned that she had been awarded the 2022 Yale Drama Series Prize, a prestigious annual, international award that recognizes an unproduced play from an emerging playwright, she was in “complete shock.” Yim’s “Jar of Fat,” which explores desire, ugliness and beauty through the lens of a fantastical fairy-tale world, was selected out of more than 1,500 entries. Her win includes receiving the David Charles Horn Prize of $10,000 as well as publication of her winning play by Yale University Press and a staged reading.
