PLAYWRIGHT MENTORING PROJECT: PMP is a six-month, out-of-school activity that uses theatre as a catalyst to help young people ages 12-19 learn valuable life skills that can aid them in developing positive self-images. Groups meet once a week from October-April in Pittsfield or North Adams. Experienced mentors guide each group to develop and perform an original play based on stories and experiences from their lives. This is a place to be authentic in a safe and confidential environment. PMP creates a brave and welcoming space where young people can share important ideas and generate exciting theatre that will be performed for their peers. No prior theatre experience is required- there are no auditions, just sign up and show up. For more information, visit www.bsceducation.org
