At the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival "War Profits" was awarded the John Cauble Award for One-Act plays. The play, along with three other finalists, was presented in a reading at the KCACTF in April with "War Profits" announced as the winner at the end of the festival.

This award is named in honor of Dr. John Cauble, Professor Emeritus of UCLA, who provided guidance and support for the establishment of the Michael Kanin Award Program. His continued participation in the recognition of student playwrights through the former “Playwriting Awards Development Committee” is a cornerstone within the Michael Kanin Awards Program.
