THE ORANGE GARDEN wins Izzy Playwriting Award

Congratulations to our 2018 Resident Playwright, Joanna Garner, on winning the Izzy Award for her play, The Orange Garden

The award, presented by Theatricum Botanicum, is given to a new play that “speaks to us the loudest.” And its voice will be heard on Wednesday, October 17th as well when we present an OTR staged reading of The Orange Garden.

“It was terrific to work on Joanna’s beautiful and heartbreaking play last summer,” says Seedlings program director Jennie Webb. “The characters and language in The Orange Garden draw us in to a tumultuous time and place in a way that’s really extraordinary.”

Joanna Garner said, “This is such a special play for me because the story is inspired by my father’s experiences in Iran in the Peace Corps.
