Youth Council

The Writers Theatre Youth Council is an artistic leadership advisory board for motivated, passionate high school students interested in hands-on, in-depth exposure to arts administration. Council members get behind-the-scenes access to Writers Theatre productions, artists, and programs, participate in play readings and artistic discussion groups, host youth nights at the theatre, and develop artistic leadership skills.

Youth Council members attend bimonthly after-school meetings, performances at the theatre, and workshops. Youth Council members represent a valued voice in theatre operations.

While Writers Theatre continues to operate remotely, all Youth Council meetings will be held via Zoom from 5:30 - 7:00pm.
