New York Times
"Corner Wars," an urban drama conceived, written
and performed with the earnestness and energy of the
young, tells an ostensibly representative story about
the street-level drug trade in Philadelphia. The content
of the script, written by Tim Dowlin, is pretty familiar
from television cop shows and movies about gangs, complete
with a tragic conclusion involving teenagers with guns.
And it takes the sympathetic, admonitory tone of an
after-school special toward the excitable tough-talkers
whose criminality is as culturally inevitable as, say,
surfing is to the beachniks of Malibu. [more]
Congratulations to Tim Dowlin, member of TFANG. His
first play, "Corner Wars," has won the
Newsday Oppenheimer Award, presented annually to the
most impressive work by a playwright
