And the winner of Snowdance is ...

Barbara Akey, Rich Smith, Rick Ditter
and John Adams
in Dressed Up Like a Douche

The Snowdance 10-Minute Comedy Festival wrapped up Sunday afternoon with the awarding of the coveted "Best in Snow" Award, as voted on by audiences during the three-week run. Here's how the voting shook out:

3. "Love is a Battlefield," by W. Patrick Fogarty. This was Racine's lone finalist in the festival, and it was a crowd favorite.

2. "Here to Serve You," by Barbara Lindsay of Seattle, Wash. Not a big surprise about the top two plays. Ask anyone who's been to Snowdance and there's a good chance this play about a lost shoe in an airport terminal this was in their top three.

And the big winner ...

"Dressed up Like a Douche" by Rick Park of Boston, Mass. There's been great buzz about this play, based on the Bruce Springsteen/Manfred Mann song, since opening night. Looks like that buzz carried Park to the $300 top prize.

Big winner No. 2 ...

The Over Our Head Players. The ensemble cast led by Rich Smith kept the Snowdance magic rolling this year with sold-out performances and a move to the larger Memorial Hall for the last weekend. Here's looking forward to Snowdance 2010!
