Our Story

Founded in 1995 by award-winning playwright Karen Zacarías, Young Playwrights’ Theater began as a vision to harness the transformative power of theater in Washington, DC. After witnessing the positive impact of playwriting workshops on students’ literacy and self-esteem, YPT was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1997, dedicated to inspiring young voices.

Impact

Young Playwrights’ Theater empowers young people to express themselves and share their stories. By prioritizing those affected by systemic oppression, YPT fosters creativity and collaboration across generations, transforming lives and communities through the arts.
