Congrats to our first (tied!) semi-finalists for 

MARCH - ANYTHING BUT DISNEY: 

Catherine Weingarten (Janis and the BIG Bad World) 

and 

 David Rigano (Not the Same Old Story)

Each month will feature a twenty-minute segment from three original works by three different writers which are related to, or inspired by, that month’s “adaptation.” At the end of each night, the audience will be invited to select their favorite of the evening by casting an anonymous ballot. 

The majority favorite will be named a semifinalist and be invited to submit a full text to Wide Eyed Productions’ Artistic Board for consideration for our final round. Two overall finalists will be chosen, and each given a full staged reading of their play at the end of the WINKS series. One winning text will be chosen based upon audience and board votes.
