Holidays, Celebration and Remembrance Student Playwrights – Chosen Monologues

Recently we called out to middle school and high school student writers to share their voices and perspectives on a holiday, celebration or remembrance through their original monologue submissions.

We were thrilled with the incredible response we had to our call-out and so thankful to all who shared their work with us.

Congratulations to the following student playwrights whose monologues have been chosen for publication in a Theatrefolk resource book to be released later this year.
