Town Hall Theatre Reveals Finalists For 2024 Young Playwrights Festival

Town Hall Education's Young Playwrights Program gives the opportunity for students to create, respond to, and make connections with the world around them all while providing high quality arts education in an accessible form for all students. “It's so impactful to collaborate with local teachers and broaden student's horizons on ways they can engage in their local community,” says Erika March, Education Director at Town Hall Theatre Company, “I've seen students blossom as artists in the Young Playwrights Program. They bring stories to the stage that are profoundly important to our local community and young people, ones that we might not see onstage otherwise.” Participation in arts education boosts empathy and tolerance, sharpens critical thinking skills, and provides a supportive environment in which students can express themselves. By bringing this program to students across the East Bay, Town Hall Education and The Young Playwrights Program seek to create and be a part of a thriving community by connecting performing artists, students, and audiences through creative and accessible experiences.
