New Voices in Theater is a playwriting program hosted by students at the Yale School of Drama. Over the course of eight months, dedicated students from New Haven public high schools participate in workshops and learn from professionals in the theater industry. At these workshops, led by Yale School of Drama graduate students, participants practice playwriting, develop their original ideas, and ultimately, write the first draft of an original play and have it workshopped by Yale School of Drama dramaturgs, playwrights, and actors. The program ends in a weekend virtual playwriting retreat.
Update: Registration for this program has closed. Registration for the 2021 program will open in September.
