Kidswrite

  • Host Frank Stasio will talk about Kidswrite with Ian Finley, director of education at Burning Coal Theatre Company, and Morgan Richardson and Jackson Bloom, two Enloe High School students whose plays were accepted for this year's Kidswrite performance.

Burning Coal Theatre Company in Raleigh wants young playwrights to have a chance to showcase their work. That's why staff there created Kidswrite, a contest that picks and performs the best plays written by junior high and high school students. This year's winning plays include an impressionist romance and a play told from the perspective of a hangman.
