I am happy to say that one of my scripts has advanced to the semifinalist round in the 2024 national playwriting contest sponsored by the American Association for Community Theatre!

Since the script is still actively under consideration by the readers, I have been asked not to name it specifically until it has made its way through the full process, so… “shhhhh!”

Regardless, I’m thrilled by the news, as AACT is a well-regarded organization that brings together community theaters across the United States, helping community theaters to thrive “with expertise, assistance, networking, and support.”

For a trip down memory line, I myself was a theater leader at one point, founding and leading the group Speerhead Theatricals almost 10 years ago (time flies!) and leading it through two years of theatrical productions in New York and Connecticut – so I viscerally understand the challenges of the theater world and love what AACT does to support the arts in local communities.

A few other plays of mine have also been semifinalists or finalists in prior AACT contests, as well.
