Relative Theatrics (RT) presents the 2nd Annual Play/Write Showcase on May 16th in the Thrust Theatre of UW’s Buchanan Center for the Performing Arts (BCPA). This showcase consists of 9 carefully selected, student-written plays and is the culmination of the second year of RT’s education initiative: Play/Write Wyoming.
Since the fall of 2023, RT staff members & teaching artists Will Bowling, Kim Lockhart and Sean Coyle, have been working with 5th graders at Linford and Spring Creek Elementaries, and 4th-6th graders at Rock River Elementary, to teach a 20-week curriculum that focuses on theatre arts skills, and creative writing and literacy academic standards. Over the course of the year, students learned improvisation exercises and acting techniques, and were taught the basics of script writing. Each student has written an original short play of their own that will be bound and published by RT.
“Play/Write Wyoming offers students in Albany County a much-needed arts education program, and hopes to foster a new generation of writers, performers and theatre goers,” says RT Education Director Will Bowling.
As a celebration of all student work, 9 plays will be performed by Wyoming theatre artists from all backgrounds. Participating companies include artists from Relative Theatrics, The Eppson Center’s Unexpected Company, a group of University of Wyoming theatre students from the Associated Students of Performing Arts, and a high school group from the WYO Performing Arts and Education center in Sheridan. The evening will be a community celebration of student creativity and the talents of theatre practitioners from around the state.
Play/Write Wyoming will be performed as a morning field trip for participating students, and then RT will host an evening showcase for the general public at 7PM, with seating beginning at 6:30PM. The event is free, open to the public, and suitable for all ages.
Relative Theatrics is committed to providing universal access to all of our events. Please contact Alice Hovis at executive@relativetheatrics.com to request accommodations by May 6th.
