We cannot wait to celebrate these brilliant young playwrights!
Please join us for the Young Playwrights Festival and come see the work of a future generation of theater-makers!
This virtual event will feature readings of our selected plays with introductions from the playwrights themselves. The event will be live-streamed on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
The Young Playwrights Festival is our longest running learning program that encourages expression and creativity in students across the state. Playwrights in grades K-12 submit their short plays, and each year six are chosen to be produced by Baltimore Center Stage.
