News from the CIRCLE THEATRE PLAYWRITING CONTEST!

We are incredibly proud to share that several of our students were recognized out of nearly 70 submissions in this year’s Circle Theatre High School Playwriting Project—an outstanding accomplishment!

Top 8 Semi-Finalist:
AHS Lillian Clark — False God

Top 4 Winning Finalists:
AHS River Russell — Fries, Not Tots
AHS Burnice Huddleston — Living With Guilt

To give you an idea of how significant this honor is, last year’s Top 8 semi-finalists received $200 and the winning finalists received $2,000 each. While this year’s awards have not yet been announced, this recognition places these students among the very best young playwrights in the region.

Our finalists will also be honored at a special reception, and the Top 4 winning plays will be brought to life as staged readings performed by professional actors—an incredible real-world theatre experience.

Students have received details about next steps, and we are now excited to celebrate them publicly. Please join us in congratulating these exceptional writers!
