Youth Creates

July 24 & 25, Youth Creates presents their original play HUMAN MIND! Each summer the Youth Creates ensemble work together to create an original stage production from scratch. This year, the ensemble has devised "Human Mind", a play dealing with artificial intelligence and its impact. Join us July 24 & 25 at 7 Stages to see what the teen ensemble has to say about this powerful new technology and to support their work!

Youth Creates 2026 is on! Photo 1 - Youth Creates alum and Chromatic Stagecraft owner Mars visited 7 Stages with a Three-day lighting design intensive built for Youth Creates. The whole program is hands-on by design — students handle the gear, run the board, and finish by creating a live light show to music. Photo 2 - Nicolette Emanuelle taught a workshop centered on aerial silks and movement. Photo 3 - Exploring characters with costumes! Phot 4 - Scavenger Hunt shenanigans! The ensemble became familiar with the theatre’s layout while checking off their finds. What a great way to learn all the nooks of a theatre!

Meet Frank Siera, our friend from Holland who is bringing a staged reading of his play "Poetic Licence" to 7 Stages on April 13! Frank Siera (1989) is a Dutch playwright and stage director. He runs his own music theatre collective KASSETT, where he writes, directs and organises. Siera’s texts are typically inspired by a true story or legendary myth, philosophical in nature and written in a poetic and rhythmic style. Ever since he started writing, music has been an important influence, both in style and theme. In 2012, Siera graduated from the Dutch theatre academy in Maastricht with his own play SPRAAKWATER about the silent piano man who washed ashore in a British coastal town. SPRAAKWATER has since been translated and performed at the prestigious Festival D’Avignon in 2021, two different festivals in Brazil in 2022 and 2023 and tours throughout France, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. He wrote his first opera libretto RITRATTO for the renowned Dutch National Opera in 2020. RITRATTO was well-received with 5 stars by the BBC and nominated for an Edison, the Dutch equivalent of a Grammy award. His play SÂLT was performed in front of the Dutch King and Queen in 2023, at the well-known site specific theatre festival Oerol on the island of Terschelling. POETIC LICENCE, a play about British playwright Joe Orton and his partner Kenneth Halliwell, received rave reviews: “Frank Siera’s text plays a dark game with fiction and reality.” For 10 years, following his graduation in 2012, Siera collaborated with 7 Stages as a director and writing coach, in their yearly Dutch-American exchange and training program (Youth Creates and Bootcamp).
