Introduction My students are always surprised at all the writers and directors I’ve worked with. I must regularly confess to them that a) theatre is a very small universe and b) I’ve been around a long, long time. That said, I’ve worked with the most extraordinary playwrights in the country: David Adjmi Thomas Babe Jon Robin Baitz Tanya Barfield Neal Bell Claire Chafee Joseph Chaikin Darrah Cloud Lucinda Coxon Migdalia Cruz Nilo Cruz Eisa Davis, Steven Dietz Pamela Gien Philip Kan Gotanda Joan Holden Naomi Iizuka Josh Kornbluth Quincy Long Craig Lucas Donald Margulies Heather McDonald Marlane Meyer Brighde Mullins Jose Rivera Sam Shepard Roger Guenveur Smith Octavio Solis Stew Julia Sweeney Erin Cressida Wilson Laurence Yep, Shay Youngblood Currently: Dramaturg/Associate Artist with the Sundance Theatre Lab (ten years).
