As a finalist for the 2023 Kaplan Playwriting Competition, “Starkweather” will receive a public reading on Friday, July 14 at 7pm at WOMR Radio Station in Provincetown.

The reading is free and open to the public.

The reading of this full-length play – written by Helltown Players Founder and Trustee Jim Dalglish – will be followed by an audience talkback. This will allow the playwright to consider rewrites before the play will be submitted for final adjudication. The winner will be announced in the Fall. Dalglish was a second-place winner for the 2022 competition with his play “The Playground.” He shared the prize with Lynda Sturner for a play they coauthored (“A Talented Woman”) in 2013.
