THE SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL'S YOUNGEST PRODUCER OF 2015:
Jacob Surovsky, age seventeen, is the youngest producer participating in the San Diego International Fringe Festival 2015. His original play, My Mother's in the Audience, was a finalist of the San Diego Playwright's Project Plays by Young Writers Playwriting Contest of 2014 (Top 21 out of 581 submissions). Due to the play's mature content and adult language, it was unable to be considered for a full production (the prize given to winning plays). Surovsky decided to produce the play himself for the San Diego International Fringe Festival 2015.
