Congratulations to Secondary Playwrighting

Winner Ella

Marroquin

Ella Marroquin is a senior at

Brunswick High School. She is a

member of the Brunswick High

Theatre and Production

Company and has a strong

passion for telling authentic

stories. Since starting her theatre

journey in her sophomore year, she has performed in many of her school shows, earning her two all star awards for her role as Mrs. Trotsky in All in the Timing. Ella has also competed in the annual Poetry Out Loud competition and has been a state finalist for the past two years. She has also written several plays, making her public debut as a playwright earlier this year at the 2020 Thescon Freestyle event. She hopes that through her writing and craft she can share the stories of many as well as bring empathy, compassion, and understanding to those who experience them.

Congratulations to Georgia playwright Daphne Mintz for winning the GTC 2020 New PLay Award with her play Her Last Expedition.  

Her play will receive 

a virtual reading

during this year's

conference, along

with a talk-back

led by last year's

winner Lee Osorio.
