PLAYMAKING: Part  2

Featuring:  Ammy Ontiveros, Arthur Keng, Bernard Addison, Ebony Howard, Liz Morrison, Jor-el Vaasborg, Marnina Schon, Stephanie T. Keefer, Tarah Polock and Tiana Randall-Quant.

Join us again for a second round of debuts for 5 brand new plays! Playmaking is a hands-on program that engages students ages 9 – 11 in the fundamentals of playwriting over the course of 10 weeks, culminating in a public performance of the student-written work by adult actors. Our presentation is an experiment in equitable and collaborative storytelling that offers young students a way to expand their imaginations through intergenerational exchange while teaching important life skills in tandem with key writing skills.

Please RSVP to receive a complimentary watch link via email one hour before the performance begins.
