Minus a huge financial reward, the premise of the Silver House Theatre Playwright Contest sounds like a mercilessly addictive reality show: Five award-winning playwrights from across the nation, allowed only one act each, compete for first place. Our contestants: J. Boyer (Suicide Gal, Won’t You Come Out Tonight), Jay Hanagan (Philophobia, Too), Tom Coash (Ukimwi), SuzAnne C. Cole (Resolution) and M.J. Hancock (New and Improved God). Who is destined for the literary spotlight and who will be upstaged? Don’t miss the drama!
