I’m very happy to report that my contemporary drama “Margo Asher Died Here” is a finalist in the 12th Annual New Play Festival sponsored by Tyler Civic Theatre Center of Tyler, TX!

Tyler Civic Theatre Center has a long history, being founded as the Tyler Little Theatre back in 1927 and evolving over the years into its present form. The theater suffered through various ups and downs (including the tragic loss of its building in a fire in 1981) but lived to prove “the show must go on” and even moved into a larger, expansive theater space in 2000. Today, Tyler Civic Theatre Center produces a vibrant season of plays and musicals and provides a large number of theatrical and educational programs to its surrounding community, serving as a respected source of theater in East Texas generally.

The New Play Festival takes place on the afternoon of July 11th where a number of plays will be read before an audience, with the top-voted play slated for production by the theater in the 2021 season.

Many, many thanks to Tyler Civic Theatre Center for so graciously recognizing “Margo Asher Died Here” (the first such recognition for this play!) and for its inspiring commitment to theater!!
