Manhattan Theatre Source Closes JuniorGenius, 8/14

JuniorGenius is the latest production from Manhattan Theatre Source. New York's brightest, young acting talent will take over the fabulous brick-box theatre space from August 11-14th. They will be presenting new work written by 11-18s, as well as improvisations around traditional children's literature and showcasing the work of existing kids' theater camps.

Contributing playwrights consider the perennial questions of friendships and fatalism (!) and devised work includes a new take on Waiting for Godot and the beginnings of the Billy Carver bookclub - featuring the werewolf boy that recently came to life in the Source's July mainstage production. There will be brand new musical scenes from the award-winning Writopia Lab and sneak previews from the people behind the Project Girl Collective.
