About
IN-SCHOOL PLAYWRITING PROGRAM: YPTs In-School Playwriting Program weaves the art of playwriting into Language Arts curricula as part of students school-day instruction to enhance literacy, creative expression and communication. Through twelve in-class playwriting workshops, our teaching artists teach students the mechanics of language,and tools for dramatic writing and self-expression. During the program, we bring professional actors into the classroom to perform the students plays. Seeing professionals bring their words to life is an empowering experience and shows our students that what they have to say matters.
