Playwright Esta Fischer from Jamaica is the winner of The Astoria Performing Arts Center’s Second Annual Playwright Contest. More than 80 scripts were submitted from across the country according to APAC’s Executive Producer Susan Scannell. 
The performances will be directed by Astoria resident David Renwanz. Fischer’s winning one-act play will be presented along with several original monologues performed by a variety of actors and actresses.
Scannell explained that by presenting such variety in one evening APAC is able to support the works and talents of many aspiring playwrights.
“Each monologue is like a mini-play in itself, so the audience will see lots of great theater covering all sorts of styles and topics,” she said.
The performances will be held May 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 8 p.m. and May 18 and 25 at 6 p.m. at the Presbyterian Church of Astoria, 31-30 33rd St., Long Island City.
