Old pro Arnie Shayne won the title (and the grand prize of $500) in this year’s Cincinnati Directors Competition at New Edgecliff Theatre.
Pones Inc. – that’s directors Kim Popa and Lindsey Jones took second place (and $250); and director Constance Brenneman placed third (for an 11th hour replacement show that she also starred in.).
Event producer Nathan Gabriel reports, “The finals had a spectacular audience turn-out. (Columbia Performance Center) was filled to capacity and everyone was buzzing with energy and anticipation of the final announcement.
“It was quite a day and NET was very pleased to see both audiences and contestants follow us through a snow-forced reschedule. This year’s competition was such a success that we are considering moving the event to a larger venue next year.”
