BEST PLAY:
Waiting to Film Waiting for Godot

The absurd part of filmmaking—the endless wait actors endure while a film crew arranges the technical details of each shot—is amplified in Mathew Green’s one-act play as two veteran actors and a surprise newcomer await the first day’s filming of the classic absurdist comedy “Waiting for Godot.” Directed by Lee Gundersheimer, the play enjoyed the talent of actors Anthony van Eyck, Don Walker, Ali Wasmund, Daniel Evans and Nick Schroeder.

Festival adjudicators selected the one-act as this Festival’s Best Play and playwright Mathew Green of Champagne, Illinois, receives the $1,000 Verna Safran award for Best Play.
