The Writers Block Ink transforms the lives of youth through the arts. Our primary mission is to arm young voices with the power of pen and prose, reinforcing teamwork, accountability, and responsibility; igniting social change on the page and stage. The Writers Block encourages youth from all walks of life to use writing and performance as tools to address personal and social challenges through all aspects of theater. Youth from The Block create original writings including poetry and plays, compose original songs, and choreograph original dances. In so doing, The Writer's Block gives students a voice, builds their self-confidence, enhances their communication and performance skills and creates future community leaders.
