The winner of the first bracket pairing between Aaron Garrett and Ben Plopper is announced.

This is also the fifth match up in the Sweet 16.  Considering the matchups were made at random before any plays were written, it is a crazy coincidence that both plays speak about how siblings deal with the loss of mom.  L. Robert Westeen’s play Our Home takes a dramatic look at sibiling interactions in the wake of mom’s death while Elizabeth Grant’s play Leftovers is a more comedic look at how the impact of loss can be ongoing.
