I got some good news from the Massachusetts Cultural Council earlier this month.  I’m one of five finalists for the MCC Dramatic Writing Fellowships.  We each get $1,000!  (The winners got $10,000 each.)  This is my 8th time applying for the fellowship, so clearly persistence does pay off.  I’m very grateful to the MCC for their continued support of individual artists.  Over the past few decades, grants for artists have largely dried up, but the MCC has stuck around, and this year marks an increase in the amounts they’re giving out.  (My timing is perfect.)

Here’s the list of winners and finalists.  A very talented bunch.
