Join us for a celebration of new work created by the students in YPT’s In-School Playwriting Program. This season YPT worked with students at Bell Multicultural High School, Wilson High School, MacFarland Middle School and Fillmore Arts Center, resulting in the creation of over 175 new plays. The six plays to be performed in the festival reflect the variety and depth of voices found at all levels of learning in our diverse community. We hope you will join us as we honor and celebrate the incredible work of these young people.
