A weekend of one-acts plays written by eight youth playwrights!
New Stage Theatre Education Presents: Plays in Progress! A showcase of one-acts plays created by camp participants ages 12 – 17 during the More Than A Building Virtual Summer Camp!
In the process of creating a play, the first public reading is always an important next step for any playwright. When you invite actors, directors, and an audience into your creativity—that’s when your words come to life! The plays were created through a three-week course taught by Camp Director and New Stage Theatre Education Director Sharon Miles. The camp was an interactive virtual theatre experience, featuring all areas of theatre, including playwriting.
The plays feature youth playwrights, youth actors, local professionals, and former New Stage Apprentices from all over the country!
We are constantly amazed at what youth artists are able to create when given the opportunity!
