Young People's Theatre: Right Here, Write Now

3 Playwrights Respond to our Altered World
“Right Here, Write Now”
YPT’s New Online Play Festival

Right Here, Write Now, a new play festival introduced in June 2020, features contemporary playwrights responding to these extraordinary times.

“Part of YPT’s programming vision is ensuring we create artistic works that speak to the contemporary lives of young people,” said Artistic Director Allen MacInnis. “This rapidly-created, online play festival responds to that need for relevance. We are in the midst of a time of enormous change and the writers of these short plays have all been asked to consider what might we make of this moment?”

The Spring 2021 Festival runs April 19, 21 & 23 at 7PM and will feature new works by Tai Amy Grauman, Marie Beath Badian and Luke Reece. Details below.

A recorded version will be made available to schools with optional pre- and post-show workshops.
