In Advanced Drama, the class is working on directing and producing brand new plays for our 2018 2nd Annual New Play Festival. We received over 100 submissions from playwrights nationwide and we narrowed it down to nine fantastic, cutting edge new work. Here's a copy of the letter I wrote congratulating the writers for being accepted:
Dear fellow Playwrights,It is an honor to write you and share the great news that your plays have been chosen to be in our 2nd annual PHS Drama New Works Festival. We received over 100 submissions and the students took the time to read each one. The nine plays that made it were mixed with hilarity and heart. I, myself, will be playing a role or two.American Wiener, Sean Walsh
