Previous Spring Fling playwrights have been Brooke Berman, Lucy Boyle, Bekah Brunstetter, Ashlin Halfnight, Greg Keller, Anna Kerrigan, Victor Lesniewski, Caroline V. McGraw, Isaac Oliver, Mark Schultz, and Anna Ziegler. The Spring Fling series has been nominated for a total of eight New York Innovative Theatre Awards and won two consecutive years.
