American Theatre for the Very Young (ATVY):
Upcoming AATE Events



Let's talk about American Theatre for the Very Young (ATVY)!

ATVY FESTIVAL CONVERSATIONS is a new project of AATE's Early Childhood and Playwright Networks, co-sponsored by AATE and the TYE Center at Utah Valley University. This series will consist of monthly, one-hour ZOOM discussions, each focused on one of the videos featured on the American Theatre for the Very Young: A Digital Festival website. 

Discussions will be led by playwright Sandy Asher and Professor John Newman, co-founders and co-chairs of the Digital Festival, who will be joined by one of the artists directly involved with the featured play. Participation is free and open to theatre professionals, educators, and students, who are asked to view each play before the meeting.
