About the Writer Steph DeFerie grew up on Cape Cod and lives there still. The many, many terrific hours she spent performing in, studying and attending shows at the Harwich Junior Theatre comprise the majority of her theatrical training. Although she also writes for adults, for the last eight years she has worked with the Chatham Middle School Drama Club because she loves introducing kids to the fun of performing. Her favorite part of writing for young audiences is incorporating audience participation into her work. She has published 16 scripts which have received countless productions in America and abroad and won several awards. Her most popular works include "Once Upon A Wolf," "Mother Goose Is Eaten By Werewolves," "I Hate Shakespeare!" and "Nick Tickle, Fairy Tale Detective." Out of almost 100 entries, her 10-minute play "Nick Tickle In Witch Crook Took The Book?" was voted "Audience Favorite" in the 2009 "Summer Shorts 4 Festival" in Williston, North Dakota. Her latest piece, an adaptation of "A Tale Of Two Cities" for middle school performers was staged in May and is now published by Brooklyn. She is extremely proud and excited that her script "Puss 'N Boots - A Tale Of A Tail" was awarded First Place in the East Valley Children's Theatre Aspiring Playwright Contest and Second Place in the 2009 NETC Aurand Harris Memorial Playwriting Competition. It premiered at the Harwich Junior Theatre in August and will be published by Playscripts very soon. Her "The Pied Piper Of Hamelin Town" (a happy-ending version the traditional story for Elementary School-age performers and audiences) has just been picked up for publication by YouthPLAYS. |
