10 student plays. 5 theatre companies. hilarity and drama ensue.
Cripple Creek Theatre Co., Dillard University Theatre, NEW NOISE, Pamela Davis-Noland, and Skin Horse Theater each present 2 student plays written by playwrights from St. Mary's Academy, Success Preparatory Academy, and The International School of Louisiana.
The Showcase is a collaboration between Dillard University and Goat in the Road Productions.
This is an exciting year for Goat in the Road Productions’ Play/Write program, in which professional actors perform plays written by fifth and sixth grade playwrights. Not only does 2014 mark Play/Write’s fifth year of bringing quality arts education to New Orleans schools, but this year, students had twice as long to write as in years past, since Play/Write’s in-school residencies were expanded from 10 weeks to a full school year in 2013-2014. This means that the student-written plays performed at the Showcase will be the best yet!
