Every year the statistics about the Festival are staggering. And they are inspiring indicator of the artistic impulses and courage of these young playwrights. It’s also a tribute to the teachers who devote untold hours to coaching these students. (In recognition of that, ATL offers free tickets to any teacher who contacts the box office.) This year, 910 students in grades 6-12 at 23 area schools submitted ten-minute plays, and through a blind review process, eight plays have been selected for full productions by ATL’s Professional Training Company. —Marty Rosen
