ACT's annual Young Playwrights Festival
(YPF) returns March 19 through 21 for a seventh year, and features
a stunning mix of dramatic and comedic new works from
extraordinarily talented student writers ages 14 to 18.
ACT will present staged readings of eight new plays developed
through ACT's Young Playwrights Program (YPP). This program serves
upwards of 350 middle and high school students from King, Kitsap,
and Pierce counties throughout 16 greater Seattle-area schools. And
for the first time, ACT's YPF will include students attending the
Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center's afterschool YPP program.
Plays were selected by an artistic panel, within ACT, from a pool
of approximately 300 submitted works. To prepare for the staged
readings, each student playwright is partnered with a professional
director, dramaturge, and actors. They participate in nearly 20
hours of rehearsal with his or her creative team. Each program is
performed twice during the three-day festival.
Cost: $10 tickets for adults, $5 for students and
seniors

Music of Remembrance's mission is to
remember Holocaust musicians and their art. In this program,
Seattle native Daniel Asia and New Yorker Steve Reich share the
bill. Using the poetry of Paul Pines, Asia's song cycle is imbued
with images of family and Judaism, and their intertwining. Reich's
landmark work juxtaposes sounds of the American trains he safely
rode as a privileged child with images of the German trains that
transported helpless people to death camps during the same
years.

The theme for spring session is Writing to Save the World. Writers
are always saving things, changing things. We write on behalf of
things that can't speak -- animals facing extinction, trees being
cut down. We record events so that they won't be forgotten -- a
city destroyed by a hurricane, a grandparent's life story. In this
class we'll practice our powers of persuasion, putting our passion
on the page to save, to remember and to create our world.

Performance Anxiety from Inside
Out
This class is for those who wish to increase their ability to focus
under pressure and for those with performance anxiety. After
establishing confidentiality, Helen will help you identify the
personal experiences, feelings, and thoughts that act as barriers
and inhibit your ability to concentrate and perform optimally. Then
she'll introduce appropriate tools to overcome these barriers. Many
musicians are blocked from sharing the music in their souls. Others
perform well but needlessly berate themselves for perceived flaws
or failures. You will learn appropriate tools to overcome these
barriers, highly effective approaches used in other fields to
minimize stress and prepare for athletic competition. Regardless of
the reason that you seek greater freedom on stage, Helen is
passionate about the opportunity to help you conquer your fears and
let your music soar. Helen's classes are rich with transformative,
life-changing moments and can be described as deeply personal as
well as full of laughter. Helen offers the chance for participants
to interact, learn concepts from great teachers, and discover other
ways to focus the mind, emotions, and body. As one former
participant wrote, "I enjoy a level of performance satisfaction I
never knew possible."

to play instruments and read music. To attain this goal, we recruit
accomplished high school and college-aged musicians to volunteer to
work with our students. Lessons are taught on a weekly basis in
one-on-one pairings or in small groups, and instruments are loaned
when needed. Students perform in several recitals each year,
showcasing their new skills and gaining valuable performance
experience. In addition, SMP works with area arts organizations to

Writers in the Schools (WITS), a program
of Seattle Arts & Lectures inspires young people to discover
and develop their authentic writing and performance voices. Through
working with professional, published creative writers, students are
empowered to tell their own stories. Writers-in-residence provide a
meaningful real-life mentor for every student from the motivated
learner to the reluctant writer and for each teacher. The
residencies are woven into the school day, thus reaching students
who might never elect to attend an after-school program in creative
writing. Through WITS, students become authors of their own
lives.
