Micro-commissioned by the Kennedy Center
The Play at Home project is a collaboration between theatres from across the country as a response to the rapidly changing landscape of the performing arts during this global crisis. The mission of the initiative is simple: to continue to inspire joy and creativity through live theatre.
As a part of this collaboration, the Kennedy Center has a micro-commissioned theatre for young audiences, playwrights/creators, to write a short play or musical (ten minutes or less) which are now available for free download.
All plays are intended for families or small groups of people to perform together at home. We hope that you and your family will pick a play to produce from your living rooms and if you feel so inclined, share it with us at #playathomeplays.
