My Nonprofit Reviews

YPT uses theatre to change kids' lives. As an audience member, for the past six years, I've seen YPT's work and its affects on kids' lives and outlooks, and it never ceases to amaze me. As a director, I've worked with many of YPT's young playwrights and their work coming out of YPT's in-school programs is always challenging and inspiring, and seeing the playwrights watch their work come to life through the voices and bodies of professional actors is always one of the highlights of my creative life. Every time, you can see these young writers realizing the power of their own voices and the value of their own experiences and you get the sense that this experience will forever live in their minds, and that they will carry it forward with a confidence, self-assuredness, and even daring that they might not have found otherwise. And YPT keeps giving more and more kids that experience, in every class, in every rehearsal, and every production, every year. And it's great.
