What do an author of a 15,000-page comic book, a post-rehab band, and a just-escaped-from-eight-years-in-a-basement teenage girl have in common? Rob Handel's play "A Maze," which recently netted the head of Carnegie Mellon's Dramatic Writing program the Whitfield Cook Award. New Dramatists, the nation's oldest nonprofit writing organization, awards the annual prize to help an unpublished and unproduced work find a theatrical home. It seems to be working for "A Maze," which was the subject of a two-week development workshop at Oregon's Portland Center Stage.
