In response to the recent COVID-19 surges, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Plays by Young Writers Festival for the safety of our artists, staff, and patrons. Unfortunately, these surges have affected multiple aspects of Playwrights Project, requiring some of our programs to pause in-person instruction as well. Our thoughts are with our resilient artists who are currently adapting to difficult and uncertain situations.

Our team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to finalize details to assure the safest path forward, and we'll keep you updated once new Plays by Young Writers Festival dates are finalized. Read more at: https://conta.cc/3F1xYfc
