Transforming the lives of "youth at the edge" through the power of performance art. PlayWrite's mission is to use the power of performance in art to transform the lives of youth at the edge. PlayWrite is a theatre-based program that builds resilience, creativity and success. Eight students form an attuned working alliance with eight coaches, engaging in exercises involving movement, sound, scent and memory. Students create a play with unique non-human characters from the authentic emotions of their own life experiences, directing professional actors on the final day.
