Tricklock Theater will be at W21 on for a special performance for their annual Manoa Project.

The Manoa Project Teen Playwriting Competition and Ensemble Apprenticeship is an educationally based opportunity for young people around New Mexico to participate in a statewide playwriting competition and a summer-long theater-training institute. In addition to providing an outstanding learning opportunity for students ages 14-18, the Manoa Project is a community based outreach program which aims to connect young artists with audiences from Albuquerque, nearby surrounding towns and throughout the state. Conceived of and run by Tricklock Company in partnership with the National Hispanic Cultural Center and Albuquerque Academy, the Manoa Project first selects a winning play and one or two alternate plays, all of which are eventually produced and staged with students from the intensive summer training program. Once selected, the winning plays go into a workshop phase wherein the young playwrights do intensive rewrites of their new work under the guidance of a professional playwriting mentor from the University of New Mexico and/or the professional writing world at large.
