    The Workshop Theater is pleased to recognize Eliana Theologides Rodriguez as a playwright selected out of a competitive pool of applicants for our Spring 2021 Writer’s Intensive. The Writer’s Intensive is an eight-week long, playwright-driven process geared towards revising an existing play. With ease, Rodriguez creates characters who each have a crown of their own and a dark side that enthralls with every read. By exploring loss, pain, and coping, we glimpse a picture of complex love and complex hurt. Our congratulations and thanks to Eliana.
