Summer Playwriting Series

The Summer Playwriting Series provides students with the tools necessary to create and perform their own plays, including lessons in playwriting, acting and design.

Community-Based

Young Playwrights’ Theater conducts the Summer Playwriting Series at partner schools, camps and community centers.

 

Culmination

The end of each series culminates with a community sharing of student work for students, friends, and families.

Outstanding summer plays may be given staged readings at New Writers Now! or produced as part of YPT’s Annual Express Tour.

Rising sixth grade students from H.D. Cooke Elementary and Bancroft Elementary worked together to create an original play "A Very Strange Soccer Game" about soccer and vampires. They then performed their play for the other students in the program as a staged reading.
