A joy-raiser celebrating the brilliance and resilience of DC youth and their community!

Bites and Bops
A Joyful 21+ Happy Hour for Young Playwrights’ Theater
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025, 6-10pm
Chicken + Whiskey
1738 14th St. NW
Washington, DC 20009

The young artists of YPT know that creative expression can be a tool to fight despair and build imagination and resilience —important skills for architecting better futures. 

It has been a challenging spring, and YPT needs to raise $10,000 to close an unexpected funding shortfall for our spring programming. So we are leaning into joy and throwing a party to celebrate the power and necessity of art and art makers, and the creativity of our amazing young playwrights!

Join other passionate community members at Chicken + Whiskey 14th St. on June 3rd, 2025, from 6-10pm, for happy hour prices all night long in a private party space with music by DJ WelbotMusic!

To RSVP for Bites and Bops, please make a donation of ANY amount to inspire young people to realize the power of their own voices this spring. You’ll also be invited to contribute a song to our community resilience playlist!

Thank you, as always, for believing in the power of youth voices and the resilience of our community.
