Alumni Anthony Ellison won his second “Best of” Frontera Fest Award for his play God’s Rabbit Hole. Here is the blurb for it, “Jean is married and in the middle of a sexual crisis; she is completely unfulfilled, so she turns to God for guidance to ultimate ecstasy.” Frontera Fest is a is “five weeks of alternative, offbeat, new, and just plain off-the-wall fringe theatre. Too bad there’s no actual way to expect the unexpected, because that is your only hope.” The fest is based in Austin, Texas.
Anthony also wrote the script for the 48 hour film festival winner in San Antonio!
Congrats Anthony!!
