2024 Young playwrights lab

Our 4th annual Young Playwrights Lab offers opportunities for youth of all abilities to practice playwriting in a nurturing, process-focused workshop. Young artists are mentored by top Kansas City professional playwrights. 

Each year, at least one piece will be chosen for further development and given full production as part of Spinning Tree Theatre's Young Playwrights Festival in January 31 - February 2, 2025.

Young Playwrights Lab is tuition-free, made possible by gifts from generous individual donors.

Friends of Spinning Tree are invited to watch an hour of the 2024 lab process. They witness the genesis of an original theatrical work, and can see it grow to full production at Young Playwrights Festival!

Join Friends of Spinning Tree today and get an insiders' peek at 2024's creative process!
