It's time.

Don't miss this year's play readings by young writers ranging in age from 16 to 23. The newly expanded LEAP Playwriting Intensive offers three levels of playwriting--short form, one-act and full-length, and this year we'll be reading them for you over three evenings in the month of March.

From a concentration camp to a high school, from the beginning of time to a dystopian future, this year's Level 1 class will take you everywhere. Ten short plays will be read on March 4 at 7 pm in the Arts Club's Revue Theatre. Come hear the work of:

Five one-acts will be read in excerpt in the Revue Theatre on March 11 at 7 pm. Plays by:
