Brief description: Laurie Allen is a West Texas playwright who was drawn to the theatre during her teen years at Snyder High School while performing plays under the legendary Jerry P. Worsham. As this influential director led his students to a record setting state championships in UIL one-act play competitions, he taught these small town students they could achieve any dream they longed for, whether it was in the theatre or beyond. So, after graduating, she decided to combine her love for the theatre and her passion to write, and try her hand at writing a play. Her first play, Gutter Girl, won the Indian River Players One-Act Play Competition. At that moment she was hooked, knowing she had found the place where she belonged. Now, over twenty-five of her plays for adults and teens have been published by various publishers. Her plays for teens have enjoyed wide success across the United States with several of her high school competition pieces succeeding in the National Speech & Forensics Competitions.
Review Quotes: "Directed to ages 15-30... These plays not only embrace comedy, but do so in a clean, fresh manner, making the works especially appealing because so much humor these days revolves around risque innuendo or crass language. And yet, these works are seasoned, appealing productions designed for mature audiences and actors alike." -- D. Donovan, Sr. Reviewer "Donovan's Literary Services"
