2009 New Play Competition

The gladiators of theater come together for an unprecedented event of its kind. We've invited the past six New Play Competition winners from the past six years to an all out brawl center stage for a chance to win two roundtrip American Airline tickets and $1,000 cash. Audience members are given ballots to vote for their favorite one-act play as they enter the theater. On closing night, we tally all the votes and award the cash and prizes. Get ready to rumble; there is sure to be a knock out!

Call 214-948-0716 for tickets or purchase online. This year's plays include:

• Change by Willie Holmes. President Obama has brought Black Love back in style, but is it the change we need?
• Son Of A Immigrant by Phillip Morales. One fateful day of protest signs, bullhorns and greasy chicken sandwiches test the bond between father and son.
• I Only Need A Few by Richard Carter. Special interest groups are always asking for favors but will the same rules apply to Main Street?
• The Assassination of Nathaniel Isaiah Gary Gamarcus Anderson by lynuslynell. When racial stereotypes collides with political correctness and a funeral, the end result is a raucous journey into the souls of black folks.
• The Valiant Never Taste of Death But Once by Paula J. Sanders. A woman faces down the reality of her fragile mortality.
• The Special Schedule by Barbara Macchia. Everyone loves a party, even if it is eleven years in the making.
