MORE ABOUT ME
My most gratifying moments in the theater occurred when I was literary manager at the George St. Playhouse in New Brunswick, NJ, in the 1980s, and produced a reading series of new plays. So often in the theater, audiences respond privately--by laughing, crying, clapping (dozing). But audiences at the readings wanted to talk about what they'd just heard and seen, and I always believed that the experience brought them closer to theater and enabled them to commit to theater in a way they hadn't by buying a ticket and sitting in the audience. It made me want to keep doing theater. 

WHAT I'M WORKING ON
A collection of 19th & 20th-century plays by American women
