COMING TO ALLEY THEATRE – Morton Ranch High School’s Barrett White has been selected to have his play “Tide” read and performed as part of the Alley Theatre’s 2010 Houston Young Playwrights Exchange. Pictured, from left, are Rob Kimbro, Alley Theatre; White; Pam Wilson MRHS Theatre Director and Bobbie Ireland, the Wood Group.
The program, known by the acronym HYPE, is part of an overall partnership between Morton Ranch High School, Houston’s Alley Theatre and the Wood Group.
The partnership features a host of workshops for theatre students, including: a Playwriting 360° residency, backstage tours, participation in Alley Theatre’s annual career day, and a trip to Alley.
Through Playwriting 360⁰, a multi-curriculum program combining creative writing instruction with theatre classes, students were asked to write and perform a 10-minute play. White’s “Tide” was selected from this project and will be one of only six youth plays to be read and performed by the theatre group this spring.
