Hotchner winner 'Caught in Carnation' debuts at PAD

By Liam Otten

A priest and a ghost, a tragic fire, a frozen lake. The stage is set for Peter Hanrahan's surreal new drama "Caught in Carnation," which examines the ties of faith and history that bind two men of the cloth in wintry upstate New York.

Hanrahan, a junior majoring in English, won the Performing Arts Department (PAD) in Arts & Sciences' 2000 A.E. Hotchner Playwriting Competition, which sponsors one full theatrical production each spring. Winning plays are chosen one year before performance, and playwrights spend the interim period developing and refining their works, most notably during the annual A.E. Hotchner Play Development Lab, conducted each fall by a visiting theater professional.

Showtimes are 8 p.m. April 25-27 and 2 p.m. April 28-29 in the A.E. Hotchner Studio Theatre in Mallinckrodt Center.
