Christopher Chen’s THE HUNDRED FLOWERS PROJECT has been selected to receive the 2012 Rella Lossy Playwrights Award.
The selection was made by Mark Russell, the Director of the Under the Radar Festival at The Public Theatre in New York. According to Mr. Russell, “The meta theater embedded in the script showed a fresh and challenging voice. This script broke the fourth and fifth wall of the theater formally, but it was also in the end a moving, beautiful play with great characters. I think this is where theater can be the most potent, taking the theater moment and flipping it to reveal truths about our lives, catching the audience off guard and allowing them to see the world differently. I look forward to seeing a production of this piece.”
The Award will help support the Crowded Fire (SF) production of THE HUNDRED FLOWERS PROJECT.
