Write To Be Scene Inc

Write To Be Scene (est. 2019) is a nonprofit teen theatre production company local to Orlando, Florida. Our purpose is to amplify diverse youth voices through performing arts as a means toward cross cultural acceptance. We provide collaborative improv theatre-based creative arts workshops for ages 12-19 as well as opportunities for the youth to perform their original writings and skits for live public audiences. Our programs are based in mindfulness practices with curriculum designed to help participants to feel heard, be seen, and practice being accepted for it. Before mental health crises occur. We produce only works that are youth led, from their own perspectives, using their own voices. We provide our workshops through OCPS, out of school programming in collaboration with other youth-serving mentorship organizations, and at our own locations. We are currently non brick and mortar but utilize community centers at varying “at-risk” geographical regions throughout Orange County.

Our programs have received past funding from both Orange County and the City of Orlando. Since our establishment, we have produced 3 full length teen theatre productions, conducted workshops within drop-in shelters, for homeless, and for youth involved with the DJJ, and produced several community outreach events indcluding our annual Self Care Through The Arts, Face Your Fears Through The Arts, and Orlando’s Underground Teens poetry slam events.
