    20 Jun. 2022
    The Workshop Theater is pleased to recognize Dan Caffrey as a playwright selected out of a competitive pool of applicants for our Winter 2021 Writer’s Intensive. The Writer’s Intensive is an eight-week long, playwright-driven process geared towards revising an existing play. Untitled Vampire Play is a heartfelt yet humorous exploration of the virulence of mental depression and the toll it takes on a family. With its liberal use of 1950s movie monster imagery interspersed with quiet, aching conversations between teenage siblings, UTV is an ambitious, visual, thoughtful piece of writing. Our congratulations and thanks to Dan.
