The applications were terrific this season and the process quite competitive. But...the four writers selected were on every single panelists' "top list". It's going to be a terrific festival!
Congratulations!
Play #1 – by Natalia Bermudez - 30 minutes – 5-7 characters
TIME: Winter 2019
A large monument appears, fully erected - and with no explanation - in the parking lot of a high school. Why is it there? What does it mean? Should it be removed? Can it be removed? How does this mystery affect the students?
Play #2 – by Tavie Kittredge - 30 minutes – 5-7 characters
TIME: Winter 2119
The large monument is the subject of a 100-year anniversary event being planned by 5 teenagers in a youth military unit whose primary job is to protect the monument. Why must it be protected? Why is it being celebrated? Why has it never been removed? What would happen if someone tried to destroy it now?
Play #3 – by Noah Clark - 45 minutes – 5-7 characters
TIME: Winter 2219
The large monument is the central meeting place and primary religious symbol in a small community. It is about to be the high holiday. In the middle of the night, 5 teenagers gather, breaking a sacred vow. Why must they take this risk? What do they have to gain? What might the world have to lose if they commit such a grave sin?
Play #4 – by Zachary Goldsmith - 15 minutes – 5 characters
TIME: Winter 2017
5 teenagers deliver dueling monologues over the course of 5 segments that weave throughout the festival. These monologues are all confessions. To what do they confess? Do they know who will build the monument? What are they setting in motion? What do they regret? What must they instigate?
