Meet Idris Goodwin, Seattle Children’s Theatre’s new artistic director

The Seattle Times: Playwright Idris Goodwin had been working on his play “The Boy Who Kissed the Sky” for around four years prior to it becoming this year’s season-opening show for Seattle Children’s Theatre (running Oct. 11-Nov. 6). Back then, the early conversations about the play were with then-artistic director Courtney Sale, who left SCT in 2020 to become the artistic director at Merrimack Repertory Theatre in Massachusetts. There was no way anyone could have known that, years later, Goodwin would be introducing both his play and himself to Seattle after becoming SCT’s new artistic director in late July.
