The Play/Write program consists of yearlong playwriting classes. Over the course of the year, each student writes eight original scripts and chooses one to expand into a full-length play. Eight of these plays are chosen for the Showcase. All students will attend the Showcase event during a morning field trip, where they will receive a formatted and professionally bound copy of their script.  The evening Showcase performance is open to the students’ families and the public.
