Each year the Shawnee Playhouse encourages local playwrights to submit their original works for a chance to win our annual Shawnee Original Playwright Series (S.O.P.S.) contest.
This spring, submissions were read by volunteer actors over several weeks. The public was invited to listen to the readings of the original plays and had a chance to vote and comment on each work. Our Executive Committee has reviewed the ratings, and the following plays will be produced and performed by Worthington Players in 2017.
Congratulations to the winning playwrights! Below are the selected plays.
