KidsWrite 2008
Posted May 21, 2008

In the fall of 2007, Burning Coal invited students in all Wake County Schools, grades 6 - 12, to submit short plays for consideration for our first ever KidsWrite playwriting festival. Three winning scripts have been selected and will be presented in a fully mounted production, with adult actors, June 27 - 29, 2008 at the historic Meymandi Theatre at the Murphey School.

Below you will find information about each of the three selected authors.

Please call 919-834-4001 for further details. No reservations are necessary - tickets may be obtained at the door.

Stranger in the Family by Rachel Self (Apex HS)
Rachel Self is a recent graduate of Apex High School, and new to the world of theater.  "Stranger in the Family" is her very first play ever written or produced. Her passion for writing led her from the simple, privately read page toward the open stage. Rachel is mostly involved in other artistic endeavors, including photography, graphic design, visual art, and general creativity. She plans on attending the Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall of 2008, and she wishes to continue writing throughout her life and to incorporate it into her career as much as possible.
