CHILDREN'S LEGACY THEATRE
Inspiring Young Minds Through CLT's 10-Minute Play Festival 2026
Children's Legacy Theatre presents a compelling 10-Minute Play Festival, written, directed, and performed by local youth. "Writing my play helped me express feelings I couldn't share any other way. I hope audiences see that teenagers have important stories to tell." -Daniel Goldson, 16, playwright, "Buried Hatchet". The 10-Minute Play Festival is the culmination of Children's Legacy Theatre's summer program under the Marion Barry Summer Youth Employment Program (MBSYEP). The program is entirely student-led; encouraging our youth to take on leadership roles, work independently and as a collaborative, build self-esteem, and repair our community.
