Previous One-Act Play Contest Winners
Past winners include David Lindsay Abaire, who won the Pulitzer for Drama in 2007.
"Winning has given me the confidence to be able to take the risk and put my work out there for others to see. The Tennessee Williams Festival has been seen as a badge of credibility, not just by me for myself, but by others as well."
-BT RYBACK, 2007 winner
"Winning was invaluable, because it allowed me to see how audiences respond to the play, and it showed me that the play works. It was also extremely gratifying to see how deeply the play affected some people. Winning the contest has helped elevate my standing as a playwright."
-CARY PEPPER, 2006 winner
