The Young Playwrights Festival (YPF) 

The Young Playwrights Festival (YPF) is our longest -unning learning program that encourages expression and creativity in students all across the state.This year we received so many wonderful play submissions from participants in our residencies, and many more from students across Maryland, and we’re beyond excited to present this year’s winners! This year’s YPF will be on May 9 at 12pm with a community-filled festival following the performance. 

This year’s theme is Hear the World, Heal the World: a hopeful imagination on the current world we live in, the many worlds we create, and the hope of a better future.

Come laugh, play, and experience the brilliant fun and voices of the Next Generation of Artists!
