29 years. Over 12,500 plays.
Now in its 29th year, Vermont Young Playwrights exists to provide every Young Vermonter an opportunity to discover their authentic voice through playwriting.

Vermont Stage, Main Street Landing Performing Arts Center, and a network of professional theatre artists come together every year to produce the largest youth playwriting program in the State; providing a unique opportunity for students to explore writing plays that give voice to their take on the world, resulting in work that is often funny, provocative, and personal.
