Encouraging and helping educators to use playwriting in the classroom is one of Young Playwrights Inc.’s primary goals. What better way to insure the future of the American theater and encourage innovation than by empowering teachers to unleash the artistic voices of America’s youth?

The Teacher Training Institute (TTI) will introduce participants to the Write A Play! Curriculum and provide teachers with effective tools for integrating playwriting into the curriculum. Building on a foundation of improvisation and collaborative writing, The TTI offers methods to enhance students’ cognitive abilities, including analytical/critical thinking, conflict resolution/problem solving, and literacy. It takes a dedicated teacher to take the risk of introducing playwriting into the curriculum, but the rewards are found in every student who finds her/his voice through this unique medium.
