Barrington student's story to be featured in festival

Jane Freiman's Toast Crumbs was selected as winner of Write Rhode Island

Posted

Barrington's Jane Freiman will read an excerpt of her award-winning story, Toast Crumbs, at this year's Providence Fringe Festival.

Earlier this year, Jane's story was selected as a winner of Write Rhode Island, a competition for students in grades 7 through 12. Toast Crumbs was awarded a Notable Mention.

At the Providence Fringe Festival on Saturday, Aug. 4, Jane and other award-winners will present their short stories. Jane is scheduled to read an excerpt from her story. 

The Providence Fringe Festival will host outdoor performances, games, music, and storytelling — all of the Family Fringe events are free and take place at Waterfire Arts Center. 

Write Rhode Island is a short fiction writing competition for Rhode Island students co-presented by School One and Goat Hill. The goal of Write Rhode Island is to promote and celebrate the works of students by incorporating Rhode Island as a theme in a creative piece of prose. 

This year, Write Rhode Island received more than 150 submissions. Judges selected 20 students from across the state, the top three winners received a cash prize and all were honored in March at a celebration at the Newport Art Museum.
