New Victory Adds Tween Playwriting to 2011 Studio Weeks

Today, The New Victory Theater announces the 2011 lineup for New Victory Studio Weeks - kids-only, week-long programs where young people between the ages of 8 and 14 have the chance to uncover new talents, explore new skills and make new friends as they discover the thrill of live performance.
