Over Ripe a Finalist for the Pittsburgh New Works Festival
Becca Blackmore
Sadly, not a selection, but woohoo! A finalist!
I'd also like to give a shout out to this festival for being awesome in general (from a writer's perspective, at least).
90% of my submissions to theatres and festivals and awards receive bland, disheartening email responses of "Sorry, but we didn't pick you." The Pittsburgh New Works Festival was wonderful enough to send back my actual grade sheets from their readers, which let me have a fuller understanding of why my play wasn't selected. It was super empowering instead of heartbreaky sad face time. More places need to do this, yo!
