Roundabout Youth Ensemble Fall 2022 Pre-Show (&Juliet) 


Roundabout Youth Ensemble (RYE) is a free afterschool and summer program for NYC Public High School students. Facilitated by professional theatre artists, participants will continue to build on their theatre skills while learning how to collaborate, create and reflect with peers and industry professionals.

From February to May 2023, RYE will produce a staged reading of original work created by RYE participants. This summer, one of the original works created this spring will be produced in the Black Box Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre.
