Writes of Spring Winners 2023!

Time to celebrate! 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Orlando REP’s Writes of Spring partnership with the Theatre for Young Audiences program at UCF! In honor of 20 amazing years we asked students to look forward to the next 20 years.

Every year, the Orlando Family Stage sponsors an exciting program called Writes of Spring in which kindergarteners through high school seniors are invited to submit creative writing responses to a prompt. These responses are then adjudicated, and the winning selections are used to create a brand-new play full of student writing. This year over 400 entries were submitted and 67 winners were chosen from across Central Florida. The prompt was “20 Years in the Future: What Do You See?”

Congratulations to all!
