Poly playwright contest in New York: The winners, and a reading
Remember the $1,000 contest that Open Love New York sponsored for the best new plays treating poly life?
Well, the contest brought in an amazing 75 entries, and now they've announced the two winners. In the full-length category it's “The Three of Us” by Tamara Rose. The short-play winner is “A Relationship’s Beginning in 10 Acts” by Marjorie Conn.
Both will debut at a free staged reading this Tuesday evening, April 22, at the Manhattan Theater Club near Times Square.
From the press release:
“The quality of our winning plays attracted an extremely high level of theatrical talent who were willing to lend their time and industry to the competition,” said Mischa Lin, producer of the competition. “These two plays show the very truth and nature of modern, multi-partner relationships. They are also tremendously entertaining theatrical works that will make you laugh, cry, and above all, think.”
Update April 25 from Mischa: A Staged Reading to Remember.

Prizes are getting a lot of attention in the innovation policy world as a way to encourage innovation (for well defined questions) at relatively low cost. This seem like a model that could be repeated to get more high quality poly content into the world.
Is there any way that those of us who don't live in New York can access copies to read? If not now, then maybe someday?
