City Theatre’s Young Playwrights Festival includes six performances of new works by middle and high school students, as well as workshops on various aspects of theatre. We’ll be joined by a few of the winning playwrights, along with actors who will perform a select scene.

This week we’re pleased to welcome two young and talented pianists, Erik Cochran and Joshua Scherrer, live in our studios.

We’re proud to host the Kosloskys of Plum Borough, as they join us to perform the Fiddler’s Polka and other tunes, live in our studios. This family band is made up of 8 year-old Victoria on violin, her 12 year-old sister Sandra on violin, and their father Randy on accordion.

Kirsten Testa, a talented 5th grade artist from Jeannette, along with Judy Ross, Director of Marketing at the WMAA, join us to discuss this exciting series. The Westmoreland will host free, themed art activities that will teach children of all ages about art and give them the opportunity to create their own art project in the studio of the museum.

Paula Purnell and Margaret Zak of Sense of Place Learning, along with young campers from the Rachel Carson Bug Camp, join us to discuss their experiences this summer learning about and caring for bugs, as well as creating art and music inspired by these tiny creatures.
