The Dwight/Edgewood Project (D/EP) is a community outreach program of Yale Repertory Theatre and David Geffen School of Drama. Created in 1995, D/EP pairs middle school students from New Haven schools with students from the Geffen School, who serve as mentors in an intensive four-week playwriting program.
Modeled after the 52nd Street Project, students learn the basics of Playmaking, spend a weekend away at a writing retreat to complete their plays, and return for a rehearsal and tech process. The process culminates in two evenings of fully produced performances open to the public. Through its values of community care, joy, curiosity, empowerment, and equity, D/EP has helped to develop over 200 original plays written by young people from the Dwight and Edgewood neighborhoods of New Haven.

For this project I directed the imaginative plays by Angel Anyssa and Jasmin. Two aliens trying to conquer the space, The Cowboy Cat and Cannaper in their friendship jurney and The Betryal of Friend where telenovela meets a Bilii Elish-teenage-animal musical.
