DISCOVER THE WORK

Ever wonder what it’s like to create a piece for Stage the Change? This workshop will explore the process of creating student-written works that perform at the conference and beyond. Three student groups who submitted to the 2019 “Call for Entries” and received Honorable Mention awards will present staged readings of their theater pieces. Each performance will be followed by a discussion about how the works were created, what inspired the writers, and what students and teachers experienced during the writing/directing process.
