The FreshPlay Festival merges the voices and creativity of youth company members with the experience of professionals, creating provocative, innovative, and fresh theater. This year, the FreshPlay Festival will focus on the workshop process with six original plays written by Playwriting Lab writers. These young scribes will work with a roster of professional directors and actors, including alumni from the Youth Company.

FreshPlay Festival staged readings are FREE of charge and will take place at MCC Theater at 511 West 52nd St, NY NY 10019 in the Frankel Theater.

This year’s playwrights are Beyonce Attah, Jahsiah Auguste, Genesis Barthelemy, Judea Mercer, Annabelle Wachtel, and Melon Williams.

These student playwrights were mentored since October 2022 by playwright Juan Ramirez Jr., YC Playwriting Lab Director, and Alexander Lambie, Playwriting Lab Assistant Director.

Time: 6:00-8:00 pm EDT
