Playwright Mentoring Project (PMP) is BACK! Sessions begin the week of October 19!! There is still time to sign up. PMP is FREE! No previous experience required. Check out the link below!
If you know a teenager (age 13-19), you know how much they want their voices to be heard. Playwright Mentoring Project (PMP) gives teens a platform to tell their stories.
When you join PMP, you are encouraged to be your authentic self. Once a week, you check in with your peers and your mentors, and share your opinions, your voice, your story. And in April you perform with your group for an audience of your peers. Stipends are paid for completion of the program. PMP is affirming, a place to belong and a place to be heard. Click below for more info.

PMP is an intensive, six-month, out-of-school activity that uses theatre as a catalyst to help youth learn valuable life skills that will aid them in developing positive self-images. Over the course of the program teens are enabled to create an original performance piece based on their own stories in a safe and confidential environment where they can express themselves, can develop conflict/resolution skills and together can create a supportive community.
