YPT teaches students to express themselves clearly and creatively through the art of playwriting. Our New Play Festival is an annual celebration of bold new voices. Out of more than 800 eligible students, these 12 playwrights distinguished themselves with their imaginative and compelling scripts.
On April 24, we will celebrate Industry Night as some of our older students present daring new works with topics that range from a recent war veteran’s struggle to overcome his own fear to a young woman’s battle with serious illness. *Plays on this night may not be appropriate for children under age thirteen.*
