Welcome to PlayPEN...
PlayPen is Wayzata High School Theatre's ongoing new play development club. We meet throughout the year to help developing theater writers continue to hone their craft and create brand new works of playwriting. We partner with WHS Theatre Drama Club to produce the 24 Hour Play Festival in the winter and a festival of student-produced one acts in the spring, called PlayGrounds.
PlayPen is lead by WHS Theatre students and mentored by staff member Sandra Struthers. The student leaders for the 2021-2022 season are Gabe Borken, Lucas Dymit, and Zoe Nisam.
For more information about PlayPen, be sure to follow the WHS Theatre instagram account. Meeting details will be posted there throughout the year!
