Stateside: Young People's Theatre makes its Michigan debut

A group from Washington DC is hoping to get elementary, middle and high school students excited about playwrighting.

The group is called The Young Playwright's Theatre and the leaders of this program are launching a four-city tour, starting in Detroit.

It's aim is to reach out to key education figures about spreading the Young Playwright's Theatre model to classrooms across the nation.

Executive director of the Young Playwright's Theatre Brigitte Pribnow Moore and artist director Nicole Jost joined us on Stateside to tell us more about their Michigan tour.
