This is GRP’s eighth year
This is GRP’s eighth year conducting Play/Write. The program consists of yearlong playwriting residencies conducted in five New Orleans schools. During these residencies, each student writes an original play, 10 of which are chosen for the Showcase. This event creates a direct relationship between writing dramatic scripts in the classroom and the real world application of that writing: a theatre production.
