Third year MFA playwright Dana Formby has been selected as a finalist for the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival’s National 10-Minute Playwriting Competition. Formby’s play, “Armed With Peanut Butter” will receive a staged reading at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. during the national festival in mid-April. Only four plays are selected as finalists from the hundreds submitted from graduate and undergraduate playwrights nationwide. Formby’s accomplishment marks the third time in five years that an OU playwright has been selected as a national finalist. (Ryan Dowler, currently a 2nd year MFA, won the award shortly before joing the program; including Dowler, OU playwrights have been at the top of this list four out of the last five years running.)
