All Children’s Theatre, a nonprofit theater company, has chosen four plays by local teens to be produced with a professional director and shown in April at the Playwriting Festival at the Met School Theatre, sponsored by the David C. Isenberg Family Foundation.
The plays were the winners in the ACT’s 11th annual youth playwriting competition, which was created, with the festival, to give Rhode Island teens an opportunity to express their thoughts, develop playwriting skills and work with a team of theater professionals to develop and stage their scripts.
The winning entries are: “Things That Go ‘LOL’ in the Night,” by Samantha Acampora, a senior at Classical High School; “Brother and Sister,” by Claudia de la Hoz, a senior at Central Falls High School; “The World’s Youngest, Strongest Man,” by Boris Colindres, a junior at Central Falls High School; and “Creation of a Superhero,” by Nicholas R. Beaudoin, Michael Martins and John Esteban, all juniors at Beacon Charter High School in Woonsocket.
