Young Playwrights Project Film Festival 2021
Arts Education • 50m
Welcome supporters and lovers of theater and plays! This is the sixth year of Chautauqua’s Young Playwrights Project and it remains the cornerstone of our Arts Education programs, as it truly helps us live out our mission to explore the best in human values with some of the most important humans we know — Chautauqua County students and teachers.
It takes so many people to make this project happen and I would like to thank the teachers, staff members, actors, director, family members and donors that make it all possible.
While in this festival we see 11 plays by 11 playwrights, I want to recognize that more than 200 young playwrights were brave enough to put ideas on paper — ideas that were worthy of sharing with the world.
