Reminder:

 This is your friendly reminder that tomorrow afternoon at 330pm is our kickoff meeting for Teen West Project: Year 9 - Impact!

Again, for those of you who don't know, the Teen West Project is SouthWest StageWorks' signature project.  We collaborate with local theatre company Playwrights West to debut brand new pieces of theatre each year, including pieces that have been nationally published and performed off-Broadway.  It's a powerful theatre experience, and for those of you who were involved with or saw last year's edition, You Cannot Undo This Action, you can speak directly to this powerful work.

This year's edition will take our distance learning situation into account and use this unique situation to create a powerful set of tales based on our experiences in this void.  Impact will be a true collaboration between student artists and theatre professionals to create high level work.

Join us for that kickoff meeting with Matt and Miller tomorrow, Monday, 2/8 at 330pm at this Zoom Link to know more.  

See you there!
