Since 1969, the American College Theater Festival has recognized the finest work produced in college and university drama programs through state, regional, and national festivals around the country. At last, many recent competition winners have been gathered into one volume, an anthology of the work the Kennedy Center judges to be the best from our young dramatists. Entertaining, challenging, and sometimes startling, these plays introduce readers to the emerging playwrights who are sure to be the theater giants of tomorrow.
