Attention
Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Truth.
We create theater that lives in the space between what is said and what is meant. AttentionMustBePaid is a Seattle-based production company giving emerging actors and directors the room to do honest work.
Our productions are built on genuine listening, emotional presence, and the courage to be truthful on stage.
The best theater happens when everyone in the room is willing to be changed by it.
Something is being rehearsed.

AttentionMustBePaid was founded by Joseph Egan with a simple conviction: theater should demand something of everyone in the room — the actors, the director, and the audience.
We produce work that asks people to show up as they are and leave different than they came.
