1998 JACKIE WHITE MEMORIAL
PLAY WRITING CONTEST WINNERS
FIRST PLACE: COMEDIA DEL DELIGHT
Claudia Haas and Richard Cash White Bear Lake, MN
A spoof of the l6th century Italian comedia, Comedia Del Delight uses mistaken identity, physical comedy and ridiculous characters to tell its tale of twins separated in infancy and their look alike offspring. They and other delightful characters create confusion and mayhem in the Italian village of Delight. Fast paced and funny, this play is a delight for audiences of all ages.
SECOND PLACE: MURDER AT THE GOON SHOW
Tim Kelly writing as Douglas Winters Hollywood, CA
On a dark and stormy night, a host of zany characters gather to film this week’s “Goon Show,” a talent show featuring very weird talents. Suddenly the lights go out and, when they come back up, a body lies dead on the floor! The rest of this fast paced farce is spent trying to answer the familiar question, “Who done it?”
THIRD PLACE (TIE): BUTTER IN A LORDLY DISH
Zoaunne LeRoy Ashland, OR
Butter in a Lordly Dish tells the story of the six member Barlow family as they leave their home and travel West in a wagon train during the mid 1800's. They experience many joys and hardships, but eventually find happiness in the far West.
THIRD PLACE (TIE): SEARCHING FOR DAVID’S HEART
Cherie Bennett Nashville, TN
This poignant play addresses many important issues: death, guilt, prejudice and organ donation. The story and the characters who tell it will remain with audiences long after they leave the theatre.
