We are very excited to announce the winner of Joining Sword & Pen – THE GATEKEEPERS by Jillian Leff!

BWBTC’s Joining Sword & Pen is a blind submission and voting process, so we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the script with the most votes came from one of our Ensemble Members!

THE GATEKEEPERS will receive development through our next Fighting Words program, and will then receive a full production. Jillian will also be awarded $1000 through the Margaret Martin Award, sponsored by Babes’ longtime benefactor, David Woolley.

To find out more about the play, check out the JS&P Live Winner Announcement!

The (below) JS&P image was the inspiration behind “THE GATEKEEPERS”.

Two dark figures in a neon-lit hallway. One figure crouches over, back-facing at the further the end of the hallway with a sword on the ground; the other figure stands with a sword in-hand, facing the crouching figure at the other end of the hallway.
