1993 Winners

"The Jackie White Competition has become an important part of my development as a writer.   More important than the result was the feedback I received from the panel of readers.  Plays are always read by multiple readers, so one reader's opinion is never the deciding factor.  I can always count on an honest evaluation of my work from the CEC panel.   I am grateful for the opportunities I have had with the Jackie White Competition and hope to enter again in the future."
-Stephen Murray, various finishes

1993 JACKIE WHITE MEMORIAL
PLAY WRITING CONTEST WINNERS

FIRST PLACE: ONCE UPON CAMELOT

Craig Sodaro, Silverthorne, CO

All the luck in Camelot has been bad lately, and the Brotherhood of Peasants, Serfs and City Scum expect King Arthur to do something about it or else! Merlin has become a fly, and Morgan LeFey and her minions waste no time in turning Arthur's three most loyal knights into a frog, a rock, and a grasshopper. It takes Threadbare, a lowly weaver, to turn the tables on Morgan in this hilarious romp through a Camelot that never was. PUBLISHED BY ELDRIDGE PUBLISHING.

SECOND PLACE: RENFIELD OF THE FLIES AND SPIDERS

Tim Kelly, Hollywood, CA

Now that Renfield has finally been released from the Institute for the Extremely Nervous, he can get even with his enemies by resurrecting his old master Dracula as his instrument of revenge. A shifty brother, a greedy sister-in-law, a hopeful punk rock bride, a devious doctor and a patient policeman are a few of the characters Renfield must outwit in this delightful spoof. PUBLISHED BY PIONEER DRAMA SERVICE.

THIRD PLACE: FRANKENTEEN

Alexander Truck and Solomon Finkelstein create a monster for the annual science Fair competition in hope that the $20,000 prize will bring life and revenue back to their dying little town of Westwitch. There's lots of fun and action in this musical monster mystery thriller.
