ThinkTank’s TYA Playwrights Festival is a developmental program dedicated to providing a working forum for progressive and forward-thinking TYA productions for today’s theatres. The goal is a collaborative workshop process, with local Tampa Bay Theatre professionals and members of our YAE Company, allowing time for playwrights to hear and adapt their work. Submissions for the festival will open to playwrights across North America in January of 2024. The festival reading panel will narrow down submitted plays to no more than four plays for the festival show case. For the 2023 Play Fest, over 470 plays were submitted from across North America and two were selected to festival show case.
In addition to the selected play readings, ThinkTank will also fully produce one of the plays from 2023’s Play Fest selections as part of the 2024 Festival.

What is a Sensory Performance?
As a part of our vision to provide a theatrical experience that welcomes everyone, we plan to offer Sensory Performances for many of our Main Stage Productions. For these shows, we’ll adjust various elements to ensure that audience members with sensory based sensitivities and other members of our community with special needs can join us!!! Our sensory performances are open to everyone and are especially crafted to enhance the show-going experience for members of our community with special needs, families with younger children, and any theatre goer who might enjoy a more relaxed show experience!
