Playwriting Playground | Kids Out and About Philadelphia

Playwriting Playground

Looking for a unique theater and writing adventure for your 8 - 13 year old this summer? At PYP's Playwriting Playground, campers will learn brainstorming, storytelling, writing, acting and improv skills in a safe and playful environment. Over 5 days, participants will work together to select themes for a devised play and shape their own monologues and scenes, culminating in a performance for family and friends that will then later be featured in the Cannonball Festival at Philly Fringe.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
