talents of young playwrights
Young playwrights from New Haven who have been mentored by students at the School of Drama will see their works performed on stage on Friday and Saturday, June 22 and June 23, at Yale's Off-Broadway Theatre, 41 Broadway.
The public is invited to the free performances. Reservations are recommended. For information and ticket reservations, call (203) 687-5587.
The young playwrights are all students from Troup Magnet Academy Middle School. As part of the Dwight/Edgewood Project (D/EP), an annual program hosted by the Yale Repertory Theatre and the Yale School of Drama, the students spend the month of June interacting in theater games, learning how to structure a play, and then writing an original one-act work.
The 11 students participating in D/EP this year were selected by Troup Magnet Academy Principal Richard Kaliszewski for their demonstrated writing skills. Three who are returning to the project are seventh-graders Tanaisha Doughty, Lamar Folnson and Nyah Macklin. Newcomers to D/EP are fifth-grade students Janiris Corretger and Jordan Fountain; sixth-graders Angel Estrada, Cynthia Herrera and Sameir Rankins; and seventh-graders Tyrone Dailey, Jairo Herrera and Andrew Parris.
The young playwrights are being mentored by School of Drama students Nikki Berger, Brian Burns, Eric Gilde, Brian Hastert, Alex Knox, Barret O'Brien, Bryce Pinkham, Aubyn Philabaum, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Jen Shaw and Amanda Warren.
Michael Bernard, former artistic associate director of the 52nd Street Project, which has served as a model for developing D/EP, is the resident teaching artist.
The D/EP is supported in part by the Jane Marcher Foundation, the Yale Office of New Haven and State Affairs, the Yale Repertory Theatre and the Yale School of Drama.
