The new Original Works Project presents fully-staged, 10-minute plays from scripts written by local playwrights — the culmination of SJCT’s summer-long playwriting intensive. The project’s 2017 theme, “It Happened in the Park,” is in partnership with the National Park Service. Included in the program is an original play created by high school students through the Young Playwrights for Change program.
