Well, my play Worth did not win the the Khaos Company Theatre's Dionysia New Play Festival. However, fellow playwright Nancy Gall-Clayton was victorious with her play The Wedding Dress. Congratulations, Nancy!
Fifteen plays each had their opening scenes performed in Indianapolis yesterday as part of the festival. The audience then voted for their favorite, with the winning play getting performed in full at the festival next year. Last year's winner, Yellow Heat: Vincent Van Gogh in Arles by Allan Bates, was presented last night, and now next year's audience will get a chance to see The Wedding Dress.
Nancy Gall-Clayton has had her full-length plays produced at CenterStage Theatre (General Orders No. 11), Bard's Town Theatre (The Snowflake Theory), Horse Cave Theatre (Just Taking Up Space), and Lilith Theatre Company (Wearing My Own Clothes).
As for the rest of us playwrights at the festival... better luck next year!
