Thank you for attending
Lights Up!
Playwrights Take the Stage

Be the first to find out which student playwrights will have their scripts produced in the 40th Plays by Young Writers Festival in February and March 2025.

This informal in-person reception took place at the Salvation Army Kroc Center and featured a brief conversation with the playwrights. We also celebrated the finalists and semi-finalists of the California Young Playwrights Contest and gave an exclusive sneak peak into the winning scripts!

Tickets were free; reservations were required. Online reservations closed 12 hours prior the event.
