Young theatre makers will create original characters, scripts, costume and set designs inspired by Underground Brooklyn: Theatrical stories from the Green-wood Cemetery.  Using the stories of the historical figures from the cemetery, from interviews who live and work in and around the cemetery and from our own theatrical imaginations, students will become the playwrights, actors and designers of their own new works to be performed on the final day of the workshop for family and friends.
