during the festival on Sunday, June 3 at 2pm (with post-show

festival will also include readings with post-discussions of the 2nd
& 3rd place winning scripts.
Open to current or former residents of Indiana this year (and to
those in a 90-mile radius of Fort Wayne), scripts were submitted by
15 playwrights from Auburn, Fort Wayne, Tipton, Richmond, Upland and
Indianapolis, IN and from St. Louis, MO, Bryan, OH and Boca Raton,
FL. These 15 scripts were adjudicated by a committee of local and
national theatre professionals who determined the winners.
This years festival is sponsored by 80/20, Inc. Foundation and is
made possible in part by a Neighborhood Grant from Arts United of
Greater Fort Wayne and a grant from The Auer Foundation. In addition,
Civic Theatre was recently awarded a grant from the Dramatist Guild
Fund in support of the 2012 program. The festival was established to
help nurture the creative writing talents of playwrights in Indiana.
