Worcester Youth Speak Honestly

Program Details

The Worcester Youth Speak Honestly (WYSH) Project is a new program at The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory. We are looking for a group of Worcester youth who are interested in creating an original piece of theatre based on their life experiences. The group will meet for 10 weeks to create, rehearse and perform an original work of art. There is no cost to participants. Participants will work with professional theatre artists each week, and free food will be provided at each meeting. They will also have the opportunity to perform at the BrickBox Theater.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Worcester Arts Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

Participants in the WYSH Project 2022 must:

• Live or attend school in Worcester.
• Be 14-18 years old.
• Be able to attend most meetings, rehearsals and performances.
• Have a desire to share their story and a willingness to perform in front of an audience.
