Young Playwrights 2022
Complimentary Access • 25-Jun-2022
Originally broadcast June 25, 2022.
Chautauqua Institution Arts Education and the Chautauqua Theater Company present an interactive, three-part playwriting experience for students in grades 3 and 4. Phase 1 teaches students how to write a play, focusing on empowering the student imagination, learning the elements of a play and using those elements to write plays that help students develop problem-solving skills. Phase 2 allows students to hear their plays read and acted out by an inter-generational volunteer team of play readers. During Phase 3, students see a selection of plays, chosen from all student plays written that year, performed by the Chautauqua Theater Company. Watch the selected students' plays come to life during the 2022 Young Playwrights performance.
