Theater Masters - Take Ten Festival

Lee has been named one of three directors taking part in "Take Ten 2016", Theater Masters National MFA Playwrights Festival.  The Festival will occur in Aspen, CO (1/31/16 - 2/2/16) and again in New York City (4/26/16 - 4/29/16).

From TheaterMasters.org:

"Each year, Theater Masters hosts a national 10-minute playwriting competition among the MFA students at the top MFA Playwriting programs in the country. Participating schools include: Brown University, Cal Arts, Carnegie-Mellon University, Columbia University, Fordham/Primary Stages, New York University,  Northwestern, University of California-Los Angeles, University of California-San Diego, University of Iowa, the University of Texas at Austin, and the Yale School of Drama. 

Between 8-10 winning plays are selected from these submissions by a Distinguished Adjudicator along with Co-Artistic Directors Julia Hansen and Naomi McDougall Jones, and a reading panel made up of industry professionals. The winning playwrights are flown, first to Aspen and then New York, for workshops and performances of their pieces. This is a unique and career-starting program for these young playwrights. The festival culminates in a public performance of these pieces, along with the winners of the Aspiring Playwrights Competition, first in Aspen, CO and then an Equity showcase in New York City. "
