'Burning' wins 2013 Boston My Theatre Award for Best New Work

Burning reunion: (L-R) star Mal Malme, playwright Ginger Lazarus, and assistant stage manager Will Carter at last night's Boston My Theatre Awards. (According to Mal, the fine ensemble work of this group even extended to this photo -- it was Will's phone, but she hit the button. Great job, guys!)

KCACTF Region 1 finalists announced

Work by three of our current MFA playwrights will advance to the national-level award competitions at the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival (KCACTF) in Washington, D.C.

Line Please by Will Carter and The Sand Beneath the City by Abbey Fenbert will compete for the John Cauble Award for Outstanding Short Play. Stephanie Brownell's Eskimo Pie and Abbey Fenbert's Geniuses are finalists for the KCACTF National Ten-Minute Play Award. Selected plays were announced at the KCACTF Region 1 competition at Cape Cod Community College earlier this month. The national festival will be held in April.

Congratulations, guys!
