The Hartford Courant reported in December 2011 that Finn and five fellow students will work with a professional playwright through a series of writing workshops to develop their own 10-minute play to be presented in the spring of 2012 by a team of professional directors and actors.
Morgan Finn is 17 years old and a senior at Bristol Central High School. Along with her writing, she participates in the school's theater program, Footlights, and she is also a member of the school newspaper, RAMpage. She started writing at a young age and has never stopped. Her recent achievements include winning the 2010 Hartford County Poetry Championship through Connecticut Young Writers for her poem, “Where I Come From,” and winning the 2011 Academic Bowl in poetry for her poem, “Buzz Cut.” She hopes to continue her writing and acting in college.
