Moonlit Wings Productions (MWP), celebrated theatre in the National Capital Area seeks new theatre-for-youth plays & musicals for the 2013 Summer Season.

MWP workshops and mounts a total of 8 new theatre-for-youth shows every summer. Each show rehearses for 2 weeks with a professional director, choreographer, & tech director/stage manager and concludes with a public performance at the end of each session. Playwrights are given a thorough production review from the creative team and the chance to debut their work. This is our 6th year in the DC-VA-MD area and our productions consist of two teams "Camp Drama" -- our in-house stage -- and "Broadway Biz" -- our touring group. More at www.moonlitwings.org.
