YOUTH INK! DAY OF PLAY READINGS

Our Youth Ink! “Day-of-Play Readings” provide actors the unique opportunity to work with high school students on the early drafts of their ten minute plays. Readings occur throughout the year. Actors spend the day reading the new material and providing feedback to the young playwrights. There is a small fee for these readings, and we also offer a transportation stipend and lunch. We maintain a list of actors who are interested in participating. To be added to this list, please email casting@mccarter.org with the subject line: “Day of Play Readings.”
