Writer's Block Ink Founded in 2003 to arm young voices in New London, Connecticut with the power of pen and prose. We find, feed, and launch young leaders.

Reinforcing teamwork, accountability, and responsibility while igniting social change on the page and stage. About the Block

The Writer’s Block Ink​, founded in 2003, is a 501c3 non-profit organization that ​empowers youth to advance key skills through all aspects of theatre. Our primary mission is to arm young voices with the power of pen and prose, reinforcing teamwork, accountability, and responsibility to ignite social change on the page and stage. Here youth create and perform original, socially-conscious work running the full spectrum of creative arts (writing, dancing, singing, visual arts, etc.). We establish an environment that invites and nurtures individual and collective creativity. We engage youth from all walks of life to use all aspects of visual and performing arts as tools to address personal and social challenges. At the Block, we invite and encourage youth to open up, speak up, create and perform.

🎥 Writer’s Block is putting on a short film, and we’re looking for acting talent in the New London Connecticut area. If you want to help us create an incredible short film, fill out the form linked in our Linktree and submit a video of you reading the excerpt for the character of your choice or share this with someone you think would be interested.
