What we do

EDUCATIONAL PLAY PRODUCTIONS (E.P.P.)– Founded by husband and wife playwrights, Cándido Tirado and Carmen Rivera, in 2003, E.P.P. presents plays that are written in the voice of the young people. We use theatre and follow-up discussions to take a frank look at the issues affecting student’s lives. Students examine the consequences of the choices they make and learn the importance of considering all the options and making informed decisions.
