Three finalists have been chosen to represent Southern California in the final rounds of the August Wilson Monologue Competition in New York in May. Pablo Lopez of Los Angeles, Rhyver White of Hawthorne, and Eliana Pipes of Altadena finished in first, second, and third, respectively. Lopez, who also received a $500 scholarship, is guaranteed a place in the final round in New York City on May 6, but White and Pipes, who took home scholarships of $250 and $100, are national semifinalists and will need to perform in a semifinal round in New York with students from six other regions for a chance to move on to the national finals. Judges for the final Los Angeles round, which was held March 4 at the Mark Taper Forum, included actors Michael Beach, Keith David, and Loretta Devine, as well as Ebony Repertory Theatre Artistic Director Wren Brown and L.A. County Arts Commission administrator Kimberleigh Aarn.
