Write.Voice.Play!
A PlayWrite Showcase of Original Student One-Acts

Artists Repertory Theatre Lobby
1515 SW Morrison St, Portland, OR
Join us for our Fertile Ground Festival 2024 showcase Write.Voice.Play!, an evening of student-created one-acts performed by some of Portland’s leading actors, workshopped and produced by PlayWrite, Inc.
When youth at-risk are challenged to write and direct their own short plays, surprising stories of trauma and tenderness, wisdom and wit erupt onto the stage.
PlayWrite brings “youth at the edge” together with theatre professionals in a performance art-based program that builds resilience, creativity, and confidence. In multi-day workshops, PlayWrite coaches and actors work one-on-one with at-risk kids, guiding them to explore and share their personal stories. Every word, character, and conflict of each resulting one-act is entirely, uniquely the student’s own. Come experience their stories.
Admission is Free. Suggested Donation $20.
