Join us for Young Playwrights for Change 2015-16:

Open Theme - What Do You Want to Change About the World?

Young Playwrights for Change offers students a new way to explore and express how they feel about important issues. It gives them a voice and lets them speak to their peers and the adults in their lives in a new way. In our first Young Playwrights for Change project, we gave middle school students the opportunity to submit short plays that tackled the subject of bullying. For Year 2, we asked the question, What is Family? What we got in return were many fun, creative, and inspiring plays. For Year 3, we are letting you choose the topic in our Open Theme - What Do You Want To Change About the World?
