The Annual Literary Prize Goes to Adam's INK'DWELL, Chosen From Over 500 Submissions
New Light Theater Project has announced that the 2020/2021 New Light New Voices Award, their annual literary prize, goes to E.E. Adam's INK'DWELL, chosen from over 500 submissions.
"Adams' script impressed our readers and panel because of its extraordinary theatricality and powerful, intimate story," says NLTP Artistic Director Sarah Norris. When Kendra's brother dies in a tragic accident, she returns to her family's summer home in Martha's Vineyard. As she searches for the truth about his death, she finds herself haunted by a childhood ghost story. Ink'dWell was named a Playwrights Center Many Voices Fellowship Semi-Finalist, Screencraft Stage Play Competition Finalist, and was developed at Fresh Ground Pepper's BRB Retreat. Due to COVID-19 and the shutdown of theaters across New York, Ink'dWell will receive virtual development support this fall in lieu of a production at this time. "New Light New Voices is dedicated to uplifting emerging writers in order to foster an ensemble-based approach to producing new work," explains Norris. "Even though we will not be in a theater or rehearsal space for the foreseeable future, NLTP is committed to supporting Adams' script however we can in a virtual setting, highlighting its potential between artist and online viewers."Videos
