Playwrights Protest O'Neill Center's Proposal
The New York Sun: "Outrage from playwrights over a proposed policy change by the O'Neill National Playwrights Conference, in which it would take a percentage of future royalties from plays presented there, caused the conference to backtrack rapidly over the weekend, leaving confusion about whether the proposal was still being considered."

In a time when it seems like people will do anything to get their name out, its nice to hear that the playwrights, in this case, did not fall into that same category. It is outrageous that the O'Neill National Playwright Conference even considered taking a percentage of future royalties from plays presented there. I could understand them getting some percentage while the play was in their theater, but to ask for a piece of the royalties is wrong. Good for the playwrights to say no, and even better for the O'Neill Center to listen!
