Congratulatins to Nancy Andrews! Her script, 'Red Eye', won the 2009-2010 season Bencich Award for best new script. 'Red Eye' was performed in our February production and also won the highest audience score for the season. Ironically, 'Red Eye' was about an author winning a playwright competition. Nancy Andrews also wrote 'The Red Are Running', which was performed in the May production.
