The John Cauble Short Play Award

The Short Play Awards Program is named in honor of Dr. John Cauble, Professor Emeritus of UCLA, who provided guidance and support for the establishment of the Michael Kanin Award Program. His continued participation in the recognition of student playwrights through the Playwriting Awards Development Committee is a cornerstone within the Michael Kanin Awards Program.

This program seeks to bring recognition to the area of student-written short plays that are produced by colleges and universities across the nation and to encourage young writers to develop the short play form in preparation for the playwriting profession.

The John Cauble Short Play Awards Program recognizes one or more outstanding productions of such plays in colleges and universities each year, with consideration for presentation at the national festival at the Kennedy Center. The awards to each playwright whose work is presented at the national festival include:

• $1000 provided by the Playwriting Awards Development Committee



• publication and catalog listing by Samuel French, Inc.



• appropriate membership in the Dramatist Guild, Inc.
