Miami Writes Program for New Plays
Miami Writes is a program dedicated to fostering and producing new plays by students and local playwrights. Past program productions, which began in 2004, have included works by Brandon Berning, Ruth Britt, Danielle Ervin, Roberta Flackwood, and Bridget Ossmann. Ossmann’s work, the musical “Teachers Left Behind,” received a full production by MUH Theatre in 2010 in Parrish Auditorium. The Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative awarded this play and Ossmann’s more recent one, “Purple Paint,” a drama about a Kentucky coal mining family, the honor of readings at The Aronoff Center in Cincinnati. Allyson West’s 2015 Miami Writes submission winner, “Texican,” is now an award-winning film.
