Winners of 30th Anniversary Youth Playwriting Competition

Arts & Culture

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) is proud to announce the winning plays of this year’s annual youth playwriting competition. “This year, we received plays that ran the entire creative gamut,” said Adam Ratner, FST’s Young Playwrights Festival Coordinator and Lead Teaching Artist. “Plays ranging from a heartfelt piece about being different and feeling proud of that truth to an ambitious and hilarious attempt to capture some magic in The Tooth Fairy and the Little Girl.  Not only is this year the 30th anniversary of WRITE A PLAY, but we are honoring the vision and imagination of twice as many playwrights! It’s so exciting to finally be able to celebrate these young artists’ bravery and hard work.”
