[NEohioPAL] Weathervane 8x10 TheatreFest - The Winners!

[Eileen Moushey]

Since last fall volunteer readers have been poring over 10 minute plays – over 150 of them.   Then, in May, a panel of actors, directors and other theatre-lovers held readings of 15 semi-finalists and chose the 8 plays that would be produced and performed at Weathervane’s Second Annual TheatreFest (July 13-15).   

This past weekend, Weathervane presented those 8 finalist plays to the delight of over 400 enthusiastic audience members.  And the results are in!

First Place -  The Bingo King by James Caputo*; directed by Jo McGarvey; featuring Rachel Gehlert and Jo McGarvey
Second Place  - Rules of Comedy by Patricia Cotter*; directed by Jeremy Lewis; featuring Allison Good and Justin Edenhofer
Fan Favorite (voted by the audiences) - How Dick and Jane Fell in Love by Lina Gallegos*; directed by Eileen Moushey*; featuring Rachel Gehlert and Gerard Neary
