THE YPF EXPERIENCE

YPF plays a critical role in training and supporting the next generation of theatre artists. Many of these playwrights have gone on to successful writing careers in and out of the theatre. As we say in our curtain speech each evening, ”These kids are the future of the theatre. If we don’t support their work today, we won’t have a generation of artists tomorrow."

​The 12 winning plays are professionally produced in Hollywood, CA with professional directors and actors. Each show receives four public performances. As a result of winning YPF, these exciting writers all make their professional stage debuts in Los Angeles. Along with 393 others over the years.
