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.
- NY Theater by Jonathan Mandell 
DEVELOPING ARTISTS are teen ARTivists
​relentlessly fighting for positive social change...
and we need allies like YOU.

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.

WHAT IS REBEL VERSES ARTS FESTIVAL?
REBEL VERSES is
 a two-week festival of performances by some of the best youth companies in NYC and beyond. With a mission to nurture the unapologetic, unrestrained creativity of the next generation, REBEL VERSES provides an opportunity for young artists ages 13-19 to perform their own original work and to collaborate and network with their peers and prominent guest artists. Founded 16 years ago by Developing Artists, and co-produced by Vineyard Theatre since 2017, REBEL VERSES celebrates the work these young artists create in an environment that champions the legitimacy of all stories and backgrounds.
