On April 1st, 2023, distinguished playwrights and directors joined the YPU family for a mentorship project that would lead to a reading of ten-minute plays. The mentors met on Zoom with the writers, as a group, twice a week for five months. There were often as many as nine professional writers and directors in the same meeting with the young writers. The conversations were moving and inspirational. Over six weeks, twice a week, actors came in for cold readings followed be feedback for the writers. The writers lives were changed by the project and many remain in close contact with their mentor today. All the writers, directors, and actors have gone on to become a part of the YPU family and continue to be a huge influence in the work and the lives of the young writers.
