2014 National Latino Playwriting Award Announced!
Congratulations to Kristiana Colón's Octagon, the unlikely story of eight young poets' win-at-all-costs and damn-the-consequences approach to the three-minute competition of a poetry slam, and the winner of the 2014 National Latino Playwriting Award.
"The judges savored the rich linguistic tapestry of Kristiana Colón's exciting new play, Octagon," said ATC Playwright-in-Residence Elaine Romero. "Theatre and poetry slam together is the theatrical equivalent of spontaneous combustion in this new play that looks at the personal and the political and how tough it can be to parse the two."
Runner-up for the 2014 National Latino Playwriting Award is Mario Correa's Commander, the story of an ambitious politician battling public doubts, personal demons and his alcoholic partner in a troubled quest to become America's first openly gay president. Set very much in the current day, Commander explores the outer limits of tolerance; what Americans will tolerate from those who lead us, and what human beings will tolerate from those who love us.
"The judges are honored to recognize Mario Correa's sharp political drama, Commander," Romero said. "A play of this moment."
