A show that premiered at Third Avenue PlayWorks in Sturgeon Bay last May received national recognition this past weekend. The play “I Carry Your Heart With Me,” written by Jennifer Blackmer, was one of four plays nationally to be the recipient of a Harold and Mimi Steinberg/ATCA New Play Citation. Jackie and Steve Kane, Artistic Director at Third Avenue PlayWorks Jacob Janssen, who traveled to Costa Mesa, California for the awards show and celebration, says they feel fortunate and honored to be part of one of the best plays showcased nationally last year. He notes that Blackmer is an incredibly talented and generous playwright and that three of the four theaters honored at the New Play Citation were from Wisconsin.
The Steinberg/ATCA awards recognize playwrights who produce the best scripts that premiered professionally outside New York City in 2023. Third Avenue PlayWorks opened the 2024 season in May with “Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson-APT. 2B” by Kate Hamill, which will run until May 19th.
