TAMPA, Fla. - April 21, 2021 - PRLog -- The Voices of Youth Festival makes its debut with Powerstories Theatre on July 16-August 1,  2021.

This inaugural festival will feature ten youth playwrights in the theatre or online and a virtual showcase of shorter original works.

Powerstories is reaching out to talented 8 to 18-year-old artists of all original plays, scenes, monologues, spoken word, songs, and dance with original music, to be performed in the theater at 2105 W. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, and using the latest technology, live-streamed.

"Children are the jewel of Powerstories. Using a hybrid of in-house theater and online digital productions, The Voices of Youth Theatre Festival gives our young people an opportunity to have their say. They can share what's on their minds with both a local and global audience," said Fran. "Working with youth is probably the most impactful thing that Powerstories does because we are working with the next generation."
