Sleep to be Brought to Life by Stage West Theatre

Olivia Kersh ’24 will soon see the play she wrote, Sleep, brought to life on stage. Kersh’s play was chosen for the 2021 Neighborhood Play Contest to be produced by Stage West Theatre in the 2022 Festival of the Kid this May. The contest drew 576 entries from 23 schools this year – double the number of typical entries. Kersh was inspired by professional playwright Rob Bosquez who visited with students during Musical Theatre class to talk about playwriting. The Neighborhood Play Contest is for North Texas students in grades K-12. Students are invited to write a short play, scene, poem, monologue, or prose and submit it into the contest for the chance to be produced onstage during Festival of the Kid. Performance dates are May 16-18.
