Aimed at teaching the basics of playwriting, New Voices is a classroom residency program guiding middle and high school students through the process of writing a ten-minute play. In the 2008-2009 school year, 450 students participated in eighteen residencies throughout fifteen schools. Our annual New Voices Young Playwrights Contest is open to ten-minute plays written in our residency program as well as those written independently. Winning plays are developed and fully produced in an evening of world premieres performed on stage at Actors Theatre by members of the Acting Apprentice Company. These plays are then published in our annual New Voices Anthology of student-written work. 2010-2011 EDUCATION PROGRAMS & STUDENT MATINEES Classroom Programs 2010-2011 Yum!
