The Other Girls
The story of three college-aged women grappling with the intimacy and intensity of female friendships. 'The Other Girls' investigates indistinctions in adoration, admiration, and attraction.

Seismic Change 
Zoe wants someone, literally anyone, to take her seriously. Gideon wants to avoid another PR disaster. Ken doesn't want to retire. Helen got her PhD but maybe hates science now? Jason was not told public speaking would be mandatory. Isaiah simply wants the dioramas to come alive at night. It's just another stress-free day at the natural history museum! The museum will definitely not be underwater by 2050 if nobody does anything about climate change. Absolutely not. Everything's fine! Make sure to visit the gift shop before you leave!

ABOUT THE FROST & DODD PLAYWRITING COMPETITIONS AND STUDENT PLAY FESTIVAL

The Frost and Dodd Playwriting competitions are supported by a pair of longstanding endowments established by theater lovers: Eleanor Frost (1950) and Ruth and Loring Holmes Dodd (1969). Each spring, two Frost contest play submissions are selected to be produced as staged readings, while the winning Dodd contest play is mounted as a fully-produced production. Performances take place in July, in the Bentley Theater; winners also receive a cash prize.

The winning one-act plays of the 94th annual Frost Student Playwriting Competition and the 46th annual Ruth & Loring Dodd Student Playwriting Competition will be performed in the Bentley Theater the weekend of August 6-8, 2021. Click here for more information.
