Plays by local high-school seniors Obiajulu Mgbechi, Delilah Romero, and Thomas Fernandes have been chosen by Dirt Dogs Theatre Co. as selections for its sixth annual Student Playwright Festival. Each playwright is awarded a $500 scholarship and is paired with a Houston-based playwright as a mentor to fine-tune the plays and prepare them for production. The students will be guests of honor as their plays are performed.
Mgbechi, a senior at Obra D. Tompkins High School, presents Tech Savvy, in which teenage students face down inequality and privilege through participation in a city-wide app design competition.
Romero, a senior at Spring High School, presents Ephemeral, a story about Iris who is struggling to have a relationship with her verbally abusive father while trying to understand her overly optimistic mother.
Fernandes, a senior at Klein Oak High School, presents The Butler Didn’t Do It This Time (Trust Me). When the friend of two roommates is found murdered, a suspicious person appears in their apartment claiming to be a detective.
