  1. Playwright, writer and historian. Christopher Moore's first two plays, "Blood in the straw" and "The fight party," won him a place at the 1986 Eugene O'Neil National Conference. In 1988, Moore's "The last season," won the annual national playwriting contest sponsered by Columbia College. In 1992 the same play was produced to critical acclaim at Chicago's ETA theater, and again in 1996 at Detroit's Plowshare Theater. Moore is also a co-producer of The History Channel television series, "The African burial ground: an American discovery." The four-part program, featuring Maya Angelou, was the winner of the 1995 Gold Apple from the National Educational Media Networks as the year's best social studies video.
