Calling all South Seattle folks! Come on down to the Rainier Valley Cultural Center tomorrow for the 2010 Young Playwrights Festival! We have six amazing, funny, moving, inspiring plays for you!
South Shore School Plays:
Ninjas by Elizabeth Wong
The Running Cat by Celia Huddart
Rainier Beach HS Plays:
Welcome Home by Tavia Silas
Love or Hate But We Are Family by Maria M. Soledad Barrientos
Truth To Be Told by T’Ra Watts
Love That Backfires by Jaquer Baker
Students at South Shore School and Rainier Beach High School worked with Teaching Artists Drew Hobson and Maria Glanz for 10 classroom sessions, learning the craft of playwriting and each creating her or his own short play. These plays were read by a panel of theatre and arts professionals, and the six plays you see today were selected as the most promising. We thank our Reading Panel: Kathya Alexander, Rich deLorme, Drew Hobson, Maria Glanz, Jerri Plumridge, and Laurie Rose.
We offer Special Thanks to both South Shore School and Rainier Beach High School, for hosting this program that invites and supports young writers in developing their powerful imaginations. We especially thank our amazing classroom teachers:
Kate Eads at South Shore School and Brooke Linefsky at RBHS
for their dedication and heart—they were wonderful teaching partners!
Rainier Valley Youth Theatre and Rainier Valley Cultural Center are supported by the Washington State Arts Commission and 4Culture. The 2010 Young Playwrights Program was supported by Fales Foundation, PONCHO, and the Jeffris Wood Foundation, and was a proud partner in the Rainier Beach HS Theatre Arts Collaborative.
