2010 Young Voices High School Monologue Festival

Philadelphia Young Playwrights and InterAct Theatre Company
presents
2010 Young Voices High School Monologue Festival

Young Playwrights received a record breaking 411 monologue submissions this year!

This year, Young Playwrights and InterAct asked students to draw inspiration from InterAct’s upcoming world premiere City of Numbers by playwright Sean Christopher Lewis, which explores both the sharp divisions and deep sense of community that define Philadelphia. Through their original monologues, students created stories about identity, freedom, imprisonment, violence, loss, and forgiveness.

Wednesday, February 3rd at 11:00 AM
