About
Keen Teens celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a festival of bold new work created by and for the next generation of artists. This free program brings together New York City high school performers with acclaimed playwrights Nelson Diaz-Marcano, Monet Hurst-Mendoza, and Will Eno to premiere original plays that reflect the complexity, humor, and urgency of young lives today. Performed Off-Broadway, these world premieres continue a tradition that has launched hundreds of young actors and introduced dozens of new works to stages across the country.
