YPT at 25! Events in 2019-2020!

 

Play in Development: No Hood Story (working title)

No Hood Story captures the inner world and outer life challenges of a young man coming of age in Washington, DC. Since summer 2019, Duke Ellington School of the Arts Alumnus and current University of the District of Columbia student Tyrese Rowe has been crafting this memoir piece with the guidance of YPT Artistic Director Farah Lawal Harris. Follow Tyrese's journey as he develops his play from draft one to the final performance run in 2020! Attend public readings of his work, meet the playwright and offer feedback as he continues to his work!
