And the winner is....DRUM ROLL.....
"I really enjoyed the collaborative nature of working with such great local actors and listening to / watching my piece come to life. The ability to receive immediate audience and actor feedback was invaluable to the process," shared Marisa Hebert about her Rough Writers' experience.
Pieces of Him will be featured in a full production next spring, making its World Premiere as part of the FAC Theatre Company's 2013-2014 Theatre Season.
"Now that I've heard the piece, I can't wait to see it up on it's feet. My hope in having this piece produced at the Fine Arts Center is that it will help to bring people of diversity into the spotlight a bit more in the Colorado Springs Theatre community."
Marisa D. Hebert is a
seventeen-year Actor/Director veteran of the Colorado Springs Theatre
community. It is only recently that Hebert turned to writing as a way to
bring people of diversity to the Colorado Springs stage. Her intent is
to create roles of substance for actors of color, and actors in the
GLBTQ community. Pieces of Him is Marisa’s first full-length
play, and tells the story of a close knit family whose bonds are bent, tested and broken following the unexpected death of their loving patriarch.
Sue Bachman's Disposing of Grandma won the best short
play category! Upon learning of her win, Bachman shared, "I felt there were a couple of really strong short plays in addition to my own... so I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to have mine chosen for production."
Sue Bachman grew up in Wisconsin in a multigenerational household with both Italian and German ethnic influences, and became interested in theatre as a child. She went on to earn her theatre degree from Northwestern University, wrote a series of short skits in college, and has since written a variety of short plays and acted in numerous Colorado Springs musicals and dramas. In her play Disposing of Grandma, a mother and daughter must confront an ocean of emotion and memories as they pack up Grandma's belongings following her death.
