6th Annual Wrinkle Writing Showcase

Blackout's In-School Theatre Education Program

Wrinkle Writing is a playwriting program that takes place in classrooms during the school day. Over the course of the year, students write and rehearse their own original play as a class for production in an end-of-the-year showcase. The goal of Wrinkle Writing is to increase student literacy and love of writing, while creating a more cooperative and fun classroom. The 5th Annual Wrinkle Writing Showcase is a great opportunity to see what the youngest theatre makers in Albuquerque are working on.
