Each year, YPT produces an Annual Performance Series of student-written plays, which are attended by 1,000 audience members from across the region. This series includes Special Projects focusing on mentoring young playwrights as they develop full-length plays for production as well as Silence is Violence (SiV), YPTs core annual production. SiV is YPTs most immediate & direct route of addressing social justice issues affecting Washington, DC area youth through performance & community dialogue. 321043 850 IN-SCHOOL PLAYWRITING PROGRAM: The In-School Playwriting (ISP) Program weaves the art of playwriting into Language Arts curricula as part of students school day instruction to enhance literacy, creative expression, and communication. Every ISP student writes their own play from idea to final draft and we bring local career actors into the classroom to perform students plays, allowing them to see their words brought to life by career artists. The majority of YPTs ISP students are served through our larger Young Playwrights Workshop initiative, a professional development initiative supporting DCPS theater educators to develop and implement their own playwriting curricula. These classes are contributing to a Playspiration Festival where students share plays they have developed over the school year with a partner school exploring the same theme. These students also share their plays during the annual DCPS Performing Arts Festival each May. 266253 3350 AFTER-SCHOOL PLAYWRITING PROGRAM: YPT provides out-of-school-time (OST) programming for elementary, middle, and high school students year-round, providing ensemble-based creative writing and performance opportunities in students schools and communities. YPT also partners with several schools each year to build their first-ever youth-centered, comprehensive drama programs, which include enrichment activities focused on playwriting, socio-emotional learning, literacy, and performance. Through this lens, young people have ownership over the creative process, and develop dramatic work on topics that interest them and reflect their lived experience. 934654 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 15 0 true 12 true false false false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false MD VA X X Brigitte Winter 2023879173 6925 Willow Street NW STE LL-230 Washington DC 20012 Brigitte Winter Executive Director 40.00 0.00 X 127299 0 6279 Camille Bryan Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michele Walters Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alejandra Jensen Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lisa Rawls Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lara Trujillo Webb Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Sawyers Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LaMar Bagley Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Michone T Johnson Vice-Chair 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tyrone D Short Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 127299 0 6279 1 false false false 1374 563072 337228 901674 Program fees 900099 16186 16186 Productions 900099 6660 6660 22846 13170 13170 30750 30750 30750 30750 0 Other Income 900099 894 894 894 969334 23740 0 43920 132851 99638 13285 19928 650659 551161 25251 74247 71090 59568 3153 8369 66270 55048 3278 7944 27285 27285 49066 44852 3849 365 729 538 113 78 12113 9304 510 2299 20246 16230 1870 2146 84877 70999 3996 9882 2071 2011 33 27 3628 3020 173 435 11056 9183 543 1330 13929 11578 668 1683 Dues and subscriptions 3490 1524 288 1678 Special Events 1109 1109 1150469 934654 84295 131520 231860 225537 383464 276633 112603 39553 8008 14599 88359 66985 31078 21374 208360 132318 975373 710014 7172 8433 500 253209 167224 260381 176157 X 614992 411357 100000 122500 714992 533857 975373 710014 -181135 0 X false true X true false X 751947 1004054 737907 1052256 908334 4454498 751947 1004054 737907 1052256 908334 4454498 386115 4068383 137 763 15937 19718 13170 49725 6690 589 894 8173 4512396 346814 0.90160 0.94990 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 88359 66985 21374 21374 Security deposit 6251 Operating right-of-use asset 126067 132318 Operating Lease Liability 138474 Refundable Advance 28750 167224 X 969334 969334 969334 1150469 1150469 1150469 Part X, Line 2-Text in footnote regarding FIN 48 (ASC 740) The material jurisdictions subject to potential examination by taxing authorities are the U.S. and the District of Columbia.
