Youngblood in Print

You’ve seen the plays of Youngblood. Now you can own them. The following is a list of some of the plays currently in print by Youngblood members. Christmas and Chanukah are just around the corner, and the one thing everyone loves to unwrap is great theater written by playwrights under thirty. Also, be sure to keep an eye out for the forthcoming publication of Elizabeth Meriwether’s Mistakes Madeline Made (recently produced at Yale Rep.) and Sharyn Rothstein’s RelationTrip, winner of this year’s Samuel French Original Short Play Festival.
