PLAY LOG LINE / SYNOPSIS

A father takes his life.  The family gathers to mourn.  Only one saw the body.  Only one knows what really happened.           

2013 SECOND PLACE:  The Coutances Altarpiece by Elan Garonzik   In 13th century France, independent merchant Geoffrey Bouvier plans to make a sizeable gift to the church and have his name recognized, but he runs up against the community spirit of the guilds, represented by Mater Thomas, head of the guildhall.  There is no resolution until the Bishop suggests a surprising alternative.

2013 THIRD PLACE:  Bodacious by Dan Borengasser     Harrison Dodd is thinking of running for President and takes a fast-food job to see if he is in tune with middle-America ... he is not!
