This will be On the Leesh’s second teaming with Tom and we’re really looking forward to working with him again.

He was also nominated by <span class="caps">NYU</span> for the Humanitas Award for student writers. The Kennedy Center (with the National New Play Network and Stanford University) recently awarded Thomas his first commission – to write a play about the dismantling of the Fairness Doctrine. His short play, “Nu Shu,” was nominated for a Samuel French Award in the Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival. “Nu Shu” was also a part of last year’s Short Play Festival at the Kennedy Center in 2006.</p> <p>The informal reading will be held at the On the Leesh offices on Saturday, April 5th.</p> Tue, 1 Apr 2008 09:15:00 PDT <a href="/articles/2008/04/01/otl-works-with-tom-diggs-again">OTL Works With Tom Diggs Again!</a> <a href="/articles/2008/04/01/otl-works-with-tom-diggs-again">OTL Works With Tom Diggs Again!</a>
