“FOR TEENAGERS LOOKING TO START A CAREER IN THEATER, DEVELOPING ARTISTS THEATER COMPANY IS A GREAT PLACE TO BEGIN...” HIGH FIVE REVIEW of REBEL VERSES 2002
Welcome to THE 6th ANNUAL REBEL VERSES: NEW WORKS FESTIVAL. This festival was born out of the dire need here in New York City for new voices in theater. It is a journey into stories you might not know, told by people you might have forgotten. Our collective is youth-based, our extended family is ageless, sexless, raceless and timeless. Enjoy.
