Festival Play Wins Best Play for Nation's Edgar Award

All three nominees for the 2008 Edgar Allan Poe Awards for the Best Play Category premiered during the International Mystery Writers' Festival last June in Owensboro. Help us congratulate Joseph Goodrich for his play "Panic" as the Edgar Winner.

"Panic", "If/Then" by David Foley, and "Books" by Stuart M. Kaminsky were the three Edgar nominees for best play, and all were finalists of the 2007 Discovering New Mysteries festival produced by the RiverPark Center in Owensboro.
