Kirra McColl wrote "A Perfect Home" in a Playwrights Project program in her school, Paul Ecke Central Elementary. Two rats, Edward and Margaret, find their home “over-run” with humans; this forces them to venture from their rural residence into the big city in search of the perfect home.
The eleven year old from Leucadia will have her script performed during a staged reading at the Sheryl and Harvey White Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe in March as part of Plays by Young Writers, a festival of winning scripts from the 29th annual California Young Playwrights Contest.
Contest winners were selected from 165 submissions by students statewide. Four scripts will receive full professional productions, and five scripts will receive staged readings in this highly regarded festival of new voices.
