Staged readings of student one-act plays set April 13

4:53 p.m., April 9, 2004--On Tuesday, April 13, the winners of this year's student play writing competition, cosponsored by UD’s Department of English and Liberman’s Bookstore, will be announced.

“One of the University’s very fine student theatre groups, E-52, will give a staged reading of several of the scripts that win,” Jeanne Walker, professor of English, said. The readings, free and open to the public, are set for 7-10 p.m. at Liberman’s Bookstore in the Galleria on Main Street, Newark.

The competition judge, Michele Volansky, literary manager at the Philadelphia Theatre Company, will announce and award the prizes, which total $1,000 in cash.

“The winning playwrights have a chance to work with actors and a director to revise their work before the reading,” Walker said. “The festival promises to be lively, hilarious and thought-provoking.”
