Cori Thomas has won ATCA's 2011 M. Elizabeth Osborn New Play Award for an emerging playwright. The award recognizes Thomas' When January Feels Like Summer, which premiered in March 2010 at City Theatre in Pittsburgh.

Last year's award went to Jason Wells for Perfect Mendacity; previous winners included Rebecca Gilman and Keith Glover. The 2011 award will be presented April 2 at the Humana Festival at Actors Theatre of Louisville.
