About Us

The writer is at the center of everything we do at PlayWrite.

It isn’t about us teaching them how to write. It isn’t about us telling them what to do. It isn’t about writing something for them, or giving them the words they can’t find on their own. It’s about creating a safe space for them to explore themselves - to write a story they’ve never written before. Our job is to keep self-editing from getting in the way of creativity; to ask questions and patiently wait for a response. We listen to the stories they have to tell.

Transforming the lives of youth at the edge  through the power of performance in art.
