Live Theatre Workshop is happy to announce our 6th annual playwriting contest for all local students between the grades 6th – 12th for the 2024/2025 school year. This acclaimed program encourages students from all over our community to write and submit short stories. Each top young playwright is teamed up with one of LTW’s seasoned playwrights/directors to help get their plays from scripts to the stage. Local talented students audition, perform, and run the tech for all of the shows. With the help of LTW’s Children’s Theatre leaders, these students take the stage and give a voice to the stories they want everyone to hear. These performances are a great way to see the amazing talent of our Tucson Youth!
