On May 25, 2017, under the direction of Drama Manger Kenya Gayles and Festival Coordinator Sarah Kirk, 120 K-12th grade students participated in the inaugual Drama Festival. Young people from an array of Philadelphia neighborhoods, shared an excerpt of what they’ve been working on all year, competed in individual and group events, received training and feedback from active Philadelphia professionals, participated in workshops that developed their skills, represented their school on a city-wide platform, and collaborated with other young people who also participate in drama at their sites. None of this would be possible without the dedication and support of the Drama Leader Council (DLC). Below are the results of the Mainstage, Ministage, and Competition Divisions!
