The Birth of the Prize

The Ebell of Los Angeles is a 501(c)3 non profit women’s club dedicated to preservation, philanthropy and programs for the way we live now. The Playwright Prize was an idea waiting to happen. I was determined to see it come to life and found the most dynamic Ebell women – business leaders, visionaries and creatives – who shared my passion and vision. I could not be more thrilled.

Our hope is that the legacy of the all-girl play contest lives for generations to come, and that both women and men come to the website year round. After months of work, it is a living, breathing source of information and exchange. Listen. You can hear the voices!
