Playworks @ Triad Stage

We hosted Playworks this past Saturday in partnership with the Theatre Education program at UNC Greensboro and North Carolina Theatre Arts Educators.

Above we have Alexander Quitman Volpi who was the White Oak High School playwright of

The One, which was directed by UNCG student Whitney Chilton (to his right), and standing and moderating is Alan Cook, professor of Theatre at UNCG.

In attendance was Mr. Jim Fisher, head of the UNCG Theatre Dept.

UNCG actors (left to right) Elizabeth Pigg, Logan Ford, Amanda Frazier, and Brandon Rieder perform Great Minds Think Aloud by Jordan Hamlin of Asheville High School.

Playworks is a program created by North Carolina Theatre Arts Educators where elementary through high school students write plays (sometimes with an actual playwright in residence to help them) and then one script is selected to be performed here at Triad Stage by UNCG actors.

It's a wonderful opportunity for students to see their own words and ideas come to life onstage.
