REBEL VERSES, an exciting and inspiring show presenting artists ages 13 to 19 from some dozen youth theater companies, was almost as impressive for what was not on stage as for what was: There were no teenage cliques, no obsession with popularity. It was not the standard depiction of teenagers in even well-meaning shows on Broadway.

Are You Ready?
The poetic REBEL VERSES come flying out like a rhythmic blast, sometimes angry but more often frustrated and concerned. Singing and harmonizing out of the mouths of the next generation of theatrical writers and performers, this night of thoughtful artistic composition and expression shouldn’t be missed.

"It's just gorgeous. And the work is so deep and so beautiful. And I just, I can't thank you enough. And I am so grateful to you and for you. And so, thank you so much. I'm just really moved."

"We all dream that one day we will achieve something we believe is much bigger than ourselves. We as artists hope that what we do matters and moves the people who see it. I have the courage and drive to reach for my dreams and express myself through art because of what I learned from Developing Artists."
