The Eleanor Frost & Ruth and Loring Dodd Playwrighting Festival

The winning undergraduate plays from two playwrighting contests—the Ruth and Loring Dodd Drama Prize and the Eleanor Frost Playwrighting Contest—comprise the festival. Danny Rangel '09 won the Dodd Drama Prize for Federale, his play about class in contemporary Mexico. The work is being fully produced by the Department of Theater and directed by Jaime Horton, associate professor of theater. The plays by Frost contest winners will be produced as bench readings directed by Peter Hackett '75, professor and chair of theater. This year's winners are The Oologist's Egg and Neelesh and the Clown, both by Latif Nasser '08, and Island Nation by Kimberly Sheu '07. All shows will be in Bentley Theater.
