Young Playwrights for Change is a national middle school playwriting competition, originally co-launched by TYA/USA,  and now run by the American Alliance for Theatre and Education (AATE). The mission of Young Playwrights for Change is to produce meaningful conversations that will ripple across our nation to provoke change. The goal is to spark conversation and discussion throughout classrooms, schools, and communities.

 

What are our goals?

 

1.

To expand the reach and promote this national competition in the United States beyond the theatre education community.

 

2.

To reimagine the learning opportunities for young playwrights who focus on issues of social change.

 

3.

To expand the reach of the winning and top-tier plays to new audiences within and without the theatre education community.
