News from KCACTF
Third-year MFA playwright Kira Rockwell was a second place recipient of the Paula Vogel Award in Playwriting for her play The Tragic Ecstasy of Girlhood (produced here last October). The award, presented by the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, recognizes the outstanding student-written play that celebrates diversity and concerns issues of gender and sexuality.
First-year MFA playwright Eliana Pipes’s Snow Brown and the 7 Stereotypes was the National Finalist for the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival’s John Cauble Award for Outstanding Short Play. The award seeks to bring recognition to the area of student-written short plays and to encourage young writers to develop the short play form in preparation for the playwriting profession. (Other plays by Eliana were cited for distinguished achievement in other categories.)
