Record Number of Submissions!

Eileen Heckart in Save Me A Place at Forest Lawn (New York Television Theatre 1966), for which she won the Emmy Award.

The postmark deadline for submissions was Saturday, March 31st; as of April 4th, 497 plays had been submitted. And since a few more will appear, delayed for whatever reasons in various mail services -- US and university -- it seems likely that we'll have over 500 submissions for the third Eileen Heckart Drama for Seniors competition. That's a new record, and speaks to the spreading popularity of theatre by and for and about seniors!

And, of course, Ohio State's Department of Theatre will be offering its two-week intensive seminars on Theatre and Aging in July; for more information, see http://osuseniortheatre.blogspot.com
