NEW VOICES: PLAYWRITING IN THE SCHOOLS
Sponsored by The Norton Foundation

Playwriting in the SchoolsNew Voices is a classroom residency for middle and high school students aimed at teaching the basics of playwriting. Students work with teaching artists for 7-10 sessions to create original 10-minute plays with an emphasis on writing rather than production. Finished pieces are often used in student portfolios.

These original works focus on a wide array of subjects affecting teens, including bullying, body image and substance abuse, and often reflect their own experiences. New Voices serves hundreds of students annually, and has given rise to the Actors Theatre New Voices Ten-Minute Play Contest.

Fee: $1000 (aid available)

The workshop gives insight into the historical and social climate, interactively explores the themes, and connects a contemporary young audience to the play.

Actors Education will contact teachers to setup workshop dates and times best for their class after they reserve tickets for a student matinee. Student Matinee Information, Schedule and Order Form
