YPT's New Play Festival at Gala Hispanic Theatre

Hey there,

So hearing several spots for an upcoming event on WAMU (the official radio station for it, actually), reminded me to follow-up on an arts organization that participated at this year's Intersections Festival.

Young Playwrights' Theater presents their New Play Festival at the Gala Hispanic Theatre, in Columbia Heights. If you're not familiar with YPT, their mission is:

Young Playwrights’ Theater teaches students to express themselves clearly and creatively through the art of playwriting.

This upcoming Monday, 4/23, and Tuesday, 4/24 at 7:30pm, professional actors will be presenting the work of 12 student playwrights involved with YPT's In-School Playwrighting Porgram.

Definitely check out the links above for more information, but just take note that the plays presented on Apr 24 will be of a more mature nature, which might not be appropriate for children younger than 13 years old.

You can call 202-387-9173 for more information. And if you're on social media, you can like YPT at their FB page or follow them on Twitter. In fact, for those on FB, you can RSVP at their event page!

I will not be able to make it, as I will be in rehearsal both nights, but hope you can. And if you do, would love to hear from you about it,
