Winners of the 2019 Eleanor Frost Student Playwriting Competition, these original one-act plays are being performed as part of the 2019 Frost & Dodd Student Play Festival.

Lost Angeles, by Kavya Menon '20
When Aria moves to Los Angeles to pursue an internship in film production, she finds herself in the midst of a very interesting mix of personalities. Between the 11 girls she shares an apartment with, her quirky boss, and the random people she meets, there is never a dull moment. 

The Recording, by Monik Walters '19
An examination of the narration of death in black communities and the storytelling capabilities of black women in these contexts. The Recording is a nonlinear exploration of the concept of mothers outliving their children in a modern era of violence, and the responsibility black women have to tell those stories.
