Aaron Leventman has nice things to say about NYCPlaywrights - thanks Aaron!
I attribute the growth in my career as a playwright to opportunities that have been posted on NYC Playwrights Blog. This has led to over 30 productions and many publications of my works. The highlight for me was in 2019 when my short play Blanche in a Wheelchair was selected from over 800 submissions to be featured in the Samuel French 44th Annual Off-Off-Broadway Short Play Festival for which it was a finalist. The same play the previous year was a finalist for the Secret Theatre's One Act Factor in LIC, NY.
