Join us for a reading of the Top 10 plays from theREP’s 2021 Young Playwright Contest, read aloud by professional actors. Hear what is on the hearts and minds of the next generation from the Capital Region.
Several of the Top 10 plays will go on to be named winners of the contest and receive a second reading in the Next Act! New Play Summit’s New Voices Event in June, and then see their plays brought to life on theREP’s stage in July.
