“ It is the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's pleasure to recommend Benjamin Benne and their play q u e r e n c i a: an imagined autobiography about forbidden fruits as a finalist for our 2017 National Playwrights Conference. The play rose through a competitive, anonymous, multileveled selection process that took nearly nine months to execute. As one of 55 finalists out of more than 1,300 submissions, the strength of its writing has allowed this work to prosper in such a competitive selection process. Our readers were struck by this tender coming-of-age story about its adolescent hero. ”
