Wessbecher wins play contest-What did you win?

Grace Wessbecher of Morris Plains, who I know indirectly through our mutual association with the Daily Record, was named winner of the Heller Theatre's Original Play Contest 2006, Tulsa, Okla., from 217 entries. A full production of her play Risso's Dolphin took place in Tulsa, Okla. in March 2007.

Grace has won several awards for her plays and her correspondence reminds me to remind you readers that Jersey Stages is eager to share your news. I'd love to hear from other playwrights, on any level, who are progressing in their careers. Or local actors who might be proud of a coveted out of town role that their local fans won't see, but might want to know about.

Think of me as your bulletin board. Just be gentle when you push in the thumbtack. Wait, let's go with "refrigerator door" and "magnet." Metaphor without the pain. Take that, Tennessee Williams.
