“Gia Yarn's direction is thoughtful, crystal clear, and well-researched. She works collaboratively with everyone in the room - actors, stage management, designers, and artistic team - while still implementing her strong vision for the play. Even in immensely pressurized situations like a day-long festival, Gia is able to steer the ship with great humor. She keeps the rehearsal room focused and organized while still fostering an environment of safety and fun.”
-Jordan Butterfield, Director of Education & Accessibility at Trinity Rep
About: New England High school students are invited to submit an original short play (approx. 6-10 pages) and winners are celebrated at a festival of staged readings featuring professional actors. Each winner receives a scholarship towards Young Actor Studio after-school classes, and 20 free tickets to a Project Discovery student matinee for the upcoming season.
