Great news: Lauren Wimmer (MFA '18) will be our sixth graduate to be selected as a Core Apprentice at the Playwrights' Center in Minneapolis. Every year, three emerging U.S. playwrights are chosen every year to receive a nine-month mentorship and to workshop a new play. The last student so honored was Savannah Reich in 2016.
Wimmer's thesis production, THE DEATH OF HAYDEN WAVERLY, THE MOST POPULAR PERSON IN THE WORLD, will travel with its Carnegie Mellon artistic team to Ars Nova in New York this summer as part of the notorious ANT Fest.
