Alumnae/i Accomplishments

As usual, alumnae/i across the country are accomplishing neat stuff this month:

Two alums are currently vying for prizes: A composition by Monique Lukens MFA '97 won first place in the IFI Electronica Genre Contest and is competing for the grand prize; Denise J. Hart MFA '99 is a semi-finalist in the Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference for her drama "This Joy." Best of luck to them both!

Just in time for the holidays, Emily Franklin '94 published How to Spell Chanukah: 18 Writers Celebrate 8 Nights of Lights. She'll be reading from the book at the Upper West Side Jewish Community Center in Manhattan at 7 p.m. on December 10.

Jeannine Jones '98 directed "No Entrance" at the Bridge Theatre in NYC in November; Matt Stapleton '05 was one of the performers.

The first mystery novel by Eugenia L. West '44 is coming out this month. Without Warning involves an ex-opera singer, the illegal weapons trade, and, of course, murder.
