Playwriting for Teens

Playwriting for Teens

Create your own short play to tackle the theme of gun violence. Teens will be encouraged to submit to the #ENOUGH short play contest, open through April 20, 2020. Winning plays will be featured in nationwide readings this December.

ABOUT #ENOUGH: 

#ENOUGH: Plays to End Gun Violence is a new campaign of theatre activism on a mission to provide middle and high school students with the platform to spark critical conversations about gun violence across the country. The project enables teens to express themselves through storytelling, foster open dialogue in their communities, take on leadership roles, and inspire creative action.

Open to teens in grades 6-12.

What happens when a diverse group of LGBTQ youth dares to be “out” on stage talking truthfully about their lives? As they create a play about love, a theater troupe of Queer youth celebrates the fullness of their lives as young artists and activists.

Play theater games, learn improv skills, and laugh a lot in this fast-paced, funny workshop! We’ll meet every other Thursday, starting April 11th. Open to all teens age 12-18.
