Marsha Norman Collected Plays

Getting Out was the co-winner of ATL's Great American Play Contest for 1977, and went on to receive numerous other honors, including the Oppenheimer/Newsday Award, the John Gassner Playwriting Medallion awarded by the Outer Critics Circle, and the American Theatre Critics Association citation as the outstanding new play produced outside of New York during the 1977-78 season. The following year Getting Out was featured in the Burns Mantle Theatre Yearbook as one of the best plays of the New York season, published by Avon Books, and chosen as a Fireside Book Club Selection.
