Park N’ Play 2022
“Before Park N’ Play, I didn’t really believe there was anything to do with my story but hearing the actors perform it made me realize the message my words can vehicle. With that experience, I learned that some people actually want to hear what I have to say and that encouraged me to keep on writing!”
Park ‘N Play 2022
“We’re really thrilled to see young writers honing their craft, and finding the confidence to share their voices with a broader public. Writing is a powerful outlet for expressing everything we have bouncing around inside; our struggles, our curiosities, our frustrations and our fantasies.”
