LOS ANGELES, Sept. 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celebrating ten years of one-person-shows with insight into history's most famed figures, Tom Dugan Plays will commemorate the 10-year anniversary with a ticket giveaway in the four upcoming locations where Tom Dugan Plays will be performing, to those who offer a personal answer to the question "What is your real face?" by November 16 via creative works including drawing, writing, photo, video or other creative piece to the Tom Dugan Plays Facebook page. Entry details: https://www.facebook.com/events/201985319974823/?context=create#
Playwright, actor and Drama Critics Circle Award Winner Tom Dugan will personally select one best submission from each region to win two tickets for the corresponding show in that submitter's region and will feature the creation on social media. Upcoming shows include:

The anniversary contest is inspired by a major theme in "Lee" of "showing your real face." Dugan's current performances in Ventura mark exactly ten years since the inception of Tom Dugan Plays with the initial performance of "Lee."
Dugan has four shows in production simultaneously, making his ten years of theatrical contributions both significant and unique.
