Directions Website Contact the organization

Young Playwrights' Theater Young Playwrights Theater (YPT) is an arts education non-profit and producing theater in Washington,

Through our programs and productions, we fulfill their creative vision by hiring professional artists to guide and perform original youth-generated work for their peers and for the public. YPT believes that it is important that youth, especially those whose voices are often minimized, have access to high-quality arts education that centers their experience and is culturally competent and affirming for all young people involved. In order to do this work, YPT acknowledges oppression and reduces its harm through our internal and external structures and practices. YPT believes that young people are inherently brilliant and we exist to share that brilliance with the world.

WOW! After one day, a lot of our flash sale items are already sold, but there are still plenty of great experiences to take advantage of! Like, a 3-session Sports Photography Class with YPT's Communication Manager Cody Bahn!

Cody has been a photographer for over 10 years and has spent much of that time photographing sports ranging from high school to professional levels. This is a great chance to learn how to photograph your children's sporting events, or even your own league!
