Everything we do comes alive when youth start writing, really writing, about what’s inside them. These students are both named Alex, taking part in our workshop at Mt Scott Learning Center, Dec 2015. #ThrowbackThursday

April 2016: PlayWrite worked with Georgian women in Tbilisi, establishing our first int'l workshop. Here, Georgian coach Tinatin (left) works with a writer (middle) and the actor (right). A few hours later, the audience is transported by these kids’ plays. #flashbackfriday

We're touched by the work of these Syrian refugee youth, their original plays are funny, powerful and especially relevant. https://t.co/NauiZ22HkG

Leo’s favorite part of PW is digging into characters' needs and fears. His coach taught him that the more specific you can get, the more descriptive your play will be, allowing the audience to better understand what’s happening in the play. Bravo, Leo! @MtScottCenter

The students at @MtScottCenter had fabulous performances at @artistsrep! Stay tuned for a deep-dive into their thoughts on the workshop and PW experience.

Kiwi, a student at @MtScottCenter works with a PW coach. She used her ukulele to find emotions that portray the inner workings of a character in her play. Come see it TOMORROW 2/6 @artistsrep Curtain at 1P!
