Write.Voice.Play!
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
When youth at risk are challenged to write and direct their own short plays, surprising stories of trauma, tenderness, wisdom, and wit erupt onto the stage. Write.Voice.Play! is an evening of student-created one-acts performed by some of Portland’s leading actors, workshopped and produced by PlayWrite, Inc.
PlayWrite brings “youth at the edge” together with theater professionals in a performance art-based program that builds resilience, creativity, and confidence. PlayWrite coaches and actors work one-on-one with at-risk kids in multi-day workshops, guiding them to explore and share their personal stories. Every word, character, and conflict of each resulting one-act is uniquely the student’s own.
