This season YPT worked with hundreds of elementary, middle and high school students throughout the city, resulting in the creation of over 400 new plays.  The eight plays to be performed in the festival reflect the variety and depth of voices found throughout our diverse community.  We hope you will join us as we honor and celebrate the incredible work of these young people.

WAMU 88.5 is the official radio sponsor of the 2009 New Play Festival.
