The Young Playwright's Project
CLT's upcoming Director Damarion Wooten:
Tells his story of the journey he is taking to become an amazing director. " Opportunity presents itself in many shapes and forms, for me this opportunity was Children's Legacy Theatre."
Children’s Legacy Theatre (CLT) is proud to introduce “The Young Playwright's Project (YPP).” YPP is an interactive, three-part playwriting experience designed for teens ages 14 to 18. It combines the best of in-person and remote educational experiences to empower students to share their unique stories, while developing their writing skills and learning about the theater arts.
The Young Playwright's Project is inspired by CLT’s Ten Minute Play Festival and presented in three phases. Phase 1 teaches students how to write a play, focusing on empowering the student imagination, learning the elements of a play and using those elements to write plays that help students develop problem-solving skills. Phase 2 allows students to hear their plays read and acted out by an intergenerational volunteer team of play readers. Phase 3, student's plays are fully produce and performed on CLT's main stage.
The YPP is presented during the Spring of each year and performed at the Anacostia Art Center, 1231 Marion Barry Ave, SE Washington, DC 20020 The first plays will be presented May 23rd - 25th, 2025.
CLT's upcoming Director Reginald Faunteroy:
Tells his story of the journey he is taking to become an amazing director. Through Children's Legacy Theatre I have been able to grow and learn many skills that will affect me for a lifetime."
WHAT WE BELIEVE!
THE POWER OF THEATRE ARTS
CLT creates extraordinary theater experiences that educate, challenge, and inspire teens to dream and connect to different cultures and ideas. Through our presentation of classical and historical plays, youth question and explore our complex world, composing and directing their own plays, thus, producing positive contributing members to society.
CLT Values
CLT instills its core values, known as TRAP-L, into every student we engage. Our values rest in the opportunity to provide each young person with the simple, but effective tools needed to survive in a world beyond CLT!
T - Teamwork
R - Responsibility
A - Appearance
P - Punctuality
L - Leadership
Students have the opportunity to earn community service hours working with our community partners!
