Bend playwright Cricket Daniel is heading to Miami.

Daniel’s 10-minute play “Break Dreams” has been selected as a finalist for City Theatre’s National Award for Short Playwriting.

“With 800+ submissions this year, yours was a play we enjoyed for its strong writing and originality,” the contest directors told Daniel in an email she shared with GO! Magazine.

Now she’s preparing to fly to Miami for the theater’s Summer Shorts festival and CityWrights Professional Weekend for Playwrights, being held June 19-23.

Daniel’s previous plays include “Couple Dating” and “Gina Galdi and Guest.”
