The Hundred Dresses Writing Contest!

In The Hundred Dresses, young Maddie learns the value of courage, of standing up for what she believes is right, even in the face of opposition from friends. Certainly for Maddie, and I think for all of us, these moments of courage come to define our lives.

What was your moment of courage? In 150 words or less, tell us about a time in your life that required courage, when you felt brave. We’ll post our five favorite responses here and a final winner will be selected from those five by The Hundred Dresses playwright Mary Hall Surface. The winner will receive an invitation to attend (with up to three guests) the opening night performance of SCT’s production of The Hundred Dresses on Friday, February 22, 2008 at 7pm (winner may choose another date if unable to attend opening night).

Email entries to Jim Jewell, SCT PR Manager and Behind the Curtain moderator, at jimj@sct.org by 5pm on Friday, February 15. Winners will be announced Monday, February 18.

General rules and stipulations:
• Contest open to anyone 18 years and younger.
• The decision of the judges is final.
• Finalists and winner will be identified on the blog by first name and last initial only.
• Prize is not transferrable. If the winner is unable to attend The Hundred Dresses, a new winner will be chosen from the remaining finalists.
