Description
Each of the plays included in this anthology has been written by a young person (Uthinker) involving a site-specific space in their community. These plays also represent the program's first year of participants in Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Orillia, Etobicoke and Sudbury. Uth Ink gives youth the opportunity to journey through an artistic process with a professional playwrights and an artist from their own community. This journey is hosted by an arts organization within each community, which is managed by Playwrights Guild of Canada and brought to the street by [murmur].
